P5getgrnam - Implement Perl's getgrnam() and associated built-ins
use P5getgrnam;
my @result = getgrnam(~$*USER);
This module tries to mimic the behaviour of the getgrnam and associated functions of Perl as closely as possible. It exports:
endgrent getgrent getgrgid getgrnam setgrent
getgrnam NAME
getgrgid GID
getgrent
setgrent
endgrent
These routines are the same as their counterparts in the system C
library. In list context, the return values from the various get
routines are as follows:
# 0 1 2 3 4
( $name, $passwd, $gid, $members ) = getgr*
In scalar context, you get the name, unless the function was a
lookup by name, in which case you get the other thing, whatever it
is. (If the entry doesn't exist you get the undefined value.) For
example:
$gid = getgrnam($name);
$name = getgrgid($num);
The $members value returned by getgr*() is a space-separated list
of the login names of the members of the group.
