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 <emphasis
remap='I'>user</emphasis> parameter will display the groups for the
named <emphasis remap='I'>user</emphasis>.

<para>
Systems which do not support concurrent group sets will have the
