+.Nm getgrouplist
+.Nd calculate group access list
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <unistd.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn getgrouplist "const char *name" "int basegid" "int *groups" "int *ngroups"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn getgrouplist
+function reads through the group file and calculates
+the group access list for the user specified in
+.Fa name .
+The
+.Fa basegid
+is automatically included in the groups list.
+Typically this value is given as
+the group number from the password file.
+.Pp
+The resulting group list is returned in the integer array pointed to by
+.Fa groups .
+The caller specifies the size of the 
+.Fa groups
+array in the integer pointed to by
+.Fa ngroups ;
+the actual number of groups found is returned in
+.Fa ngroups .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn getgrouplist
+function
+returns \-1 if the size of the group list is too small to
+hold all the user's groups.
+Here, the group array will be filled with as many groups as will fit.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn getgrouplist
+function first appeared in 4.4BSD.
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Fn getgrouplist
+function
+uses the routines based on
+.Xr getgrent 3 .
+If the invoking program uses any of these routines,
+the group structure will
+be overwritten in the call to
+.Fn getgrouplist .
