    <para>
      The <command>id</command> command displays the current real and
      effective user and group ID names or values. If the value does not
      have a corresponding entry in <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> or
      <filename>/etc/group</filename>, the value will be displayed without
      the corresponding name. The optional <option>-a</option> flag will
      display the group set on systems which support supplementary groups
      (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>initgroups</refentrytitle>
      <manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
