STRGID(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is strgid(3) from the Library Functions Manual, and its whole vibe is: you give it a group number, it gives you the group name back. Like a little name-tag machine for groups, no cap 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char* strgid(int gid)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

strgid returns the group id name string given the group number gid — literally number in, group-name string out, iconic behavior 🫶

and it keeps an internal cache, bestie, so it’s not out here rescanning the password database over and over again via the low level getgrgid(3). The cache is the whole point: avoid those repeated password database scans, periodt ✨

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

• getgrent(3)

that’s the whole strgid(3) situation, bestie — the footer is just STRGID(3), with no extra source/version/date lore attached, so here’s the cute little sign-off: classic manual page, iconic energy, periodt 🎀✨💜
