SYNOPSIS
groupinfo [-e] group
DESCRIPTION
The groupinfo utility displays the name, group ID (GID), and members of
the specified group.
The options are as follows:
-e Do not display anything (quiet mode). This form of the command
is useful for scripts which need to check whether a particular
group name or GID is already in use on the system.
The group argument may be either a group name or a GID.
EXIT STATUS
The groupinfo utility exits 0 if group exists, and non-zero if it does
not.

CAVEATS
If the specified group is the primary group of a user, but that user is
not listed as a member of the group in the group(5) file, the groupinfo
utility fails to list that user as a member of the group.
