<para>
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>.

<refsect1 id='note'>
<title>NOTE</title>
<para>
Systems which do not support concurrent group sets will have the
information from <filename>/etc/group</filename> reported. The user
must use <command>newgrp</command> or <command>sg</command> to change
his current real and effective group ID.
