groups - display current group names
groups [user]
The groups command displays the current group names or ID values. If
the value does not have a corresponding entry in /etc/group, the
value will be displayed as the numerical group value. The optional
user parameter will display the groups for the named user.
Systems which do not support concurrent group sets will have the
information from /etc/group reported. The user must use newgrp or sg
to change his current real and effective group ID.
