The group id.

The array elements returned are:
The group information array
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| name | The name element contains the name of the group. This is a short, usually less than 16 character "handle" of the group, not the real, full name. |
| passwd | The passwd element contains the group's password in an encrypted format. Often, for example on a system employing "shadow" passwords, an asterisk is returned instead. |
| gid | Group ID, should be the same as thegid parameter used when calling the function, and hence redundant. |
| members | This consists of an array ofstring's for all the members in the group. |
Examples
Example #1 Example use of posix_getgrgid()
`<?php
$groupid
= posix_getegid(); groupinfo=posixgetgrgid(groupinfo = posix_getgrgid(groupinfo=posixgetgrgid(groupid);print_r($groupinfo);
?> `
The above example will output something similar to:
Array ( [name] => toons [passwd] => x [members] => Array ( [0] => tom [1] => jerry ) [gid] => 42 )
