GETGROUPS(2)                BSD System Calls Manual               GETGROUPS(2)

NAME
     getgroups -- get group access list

SYNOPSIS
     #include <unistd.h>

     int
     getgroups(int gidsetsize, gid_t grouplist[]);

DESCRIPTION
     getgroups() gets the current group access list of the current user process and stores it in the array
     grouplist[].  The parameter gidsetsize indicates the number of entries that may be placed in
     grouplist[].  getgroups() returns the actual number of groups returned in grouplist[].  However, no
     more than {NGROUPS_MAX} will be returned. If gidsetsize is 0, getgroups() returns the number of groups
     without modifying the grouplist[] array.

     Calling initgroups(3) to opt-in for supplementary groups will cause getgroups() to return a single
     entry, the GID that was passed to initgroups(3).

     To provide compatibility with applications that use getgroups() in environments where users may be in
     more than {NGROUPS_MAX} groups, a variant of getgroups(), obtained when compiling with either the
     macros _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_GETGROUPS or _DARWIN_C_SOURCE defined, can be used that is not limited to
     {NGROUPS_MAX} groups.  However, this variant only returns the user's default group access list and not
     the group list modified by a call to setgroups(2) (either in the current process or an ancestor
     process).  Use of setgroups(2) is highly discouraged, and there is no foolproof way to determine if it
     has been previously called.

RETURN VALUES
     A successful call returns the number of groups in the group set.  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned
     and the global integer variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The possible errors for getgroups() are:

     [EFAULT]           The argument grouplist specifies an invalid address.

     [EINVAL]           The argument gidsetsize, although non-zero, is smaller than the number of groups in
                        the group set.

LEGACY SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <unistd.h>

     The include files <sys/param.h> and <sys/types.h> are necessary.
