+@deftypefun int getgrouplist (const char *@var{user}, gid_t @var{group}, gid_t *@var{groups}, int *@var{ngroups})
+The @code{getgrouplist} function scans the group database for all the
+groups @var{user} belongs to. Up to *@var{ngroups} group IDs
+corresponding to these groups are stored in the array @var{groups}; the
+return value from the function is the number of group IDs actually
+stored. If *@var{ngroups} is smaller than the total number of groups
+found, then @code{getgrouplist} returns a value of @code{-1} and stores
+the actual number of groups in *@var{ngroups}. The group @var{group} is
+automatically included in the list of groups returned by
+@code{getgrouplist}.
+
+Here's how to use @code{getgrouplist} to read all supplementary groups
