NAME         top

       groups - display current group names

SYNOPSIS         top

       groups [user]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The groups command displays the current group names or ID values. If
       the value does not have a corresponding entry in /etc/group, the
       value will be displayed as the numerical group value. The optional
       user parameter will display the groups for the named user.

NOTE         top

       Systems which do not support concurrent group sets will have the
       information from /etc/group reported. The user must use newgrp or sg
       to change his current real and effective group ID.
