.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The command \fBgroups\fR prints on standard output the groups to which you or the optionally specified user belong. Each user belongs to a group specified in  \fB/etc/passwd\fR and possibly to other groups as specified in  \fB/etc/group\fR. Note that  \fB/etc/passwd\fR specifies the numerical \fBID\fR (\fBgid\fR) of the group. The \fBgroups\fR command converts \fBgid\fR to the group name in the output.
