grp — The group database

---

This module provides access to the Unix group database. It is available on all Unix versions.

Disponibilidade

Group database entries are reported as a tuple-like object, whose attributes correspond to the members of the group structure (Attribute field below, see <grp.h>):

Índice	Atributo	Significado
0	gr_name	o nome do grupo
1	gr_passwd	the (encrypted) group password; often empty
2	gr_gid	O ID numérico do grupo
3	gr_mem	all the group member’s user names

The gid is an integer, name and password are strings, and the member list is a list of strings. (Note that most users are not explicitly listed as members of the group they are in according to the password database. Check both databases to get complete membership information. Also note that a gr_name that starts with a + or - is likely to be a YP/NIS reference and may not be accessible via getgrnam() or getgrgid().)

Isto define os seguintes itens
