The <command>groups</command> command displays the current group names
or ID values. If the value does not have a corresponding entry in
<filename>/etc/group</filename>, the value will be displayed as the
numerical group value. The optional <replaceable>user</replaceable>
parameter will display the groups for the named user.

Systems which do not support supplementary groups (see <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>initgroups</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>) will have the

must use <command>newgrp</command> or <command>sg</command> to change
his current real and effective group ID.
