+.TH initgroups 3C "22 Mar 2004" "SunOS 5.11" "Standard C Library Functions"
+.SH NAME
+initgroups \- initialize the supplementary group access list
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <grp.h>
+#include <sys/types.h>
+
+\fBint\fR \fBinitgroups\fR(\fBconst char *\fR\fIname\fR, \fBgid_t\fR \fIbasegid\fR);
+.fi
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBinitgroups()\fR function reads the group database to get the group
+membership for the user specified by \fIname\fR, and initializes the
+supplementary group access list of the calling process (see \fBgetgrnam\fR(3C)
+and \fBgetgroups\fR(2)). The \fIbasegid\fR group ID is also included in the
+supplementary group access list. This is typically the real group ID from the
+user database.
+.sp
+.LP
+While scanning the group database, if the number of groups, including the
+\fIbasegid\fR entry, exceeds \fBNGROUPS_MAX\fR, subsequent group entries are
+ignored.
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+.sp
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, \(mi1 is returned and
+\fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fBinitgroups()\fR function will fail and not change the supplementary
+group access list if:
+.sp
+.ne 2
+.mk
+.na
+\fB\fBEPERM\fR\fR
+.ad
+.RS 9n
+.rt
+The {\fBPRIV_PROC_SETID\fR} privilege is not asserted in the effective set of
+the calling process.
