This function is missing on some platforms:
|
|
mingw.
|
|
@item
|
|
On some platforms, this function fails to reject a negative count,
|
|
even though that is less than the size that would be returned:
|
|
FreeBSD 7.2.

@item
|
|
On Ultrix 4.3, @code{getgroups (0, NULL)} always fails. See macro
|
|
@samp{AC_FUNC_GETGROUPS}.
|
|
@item
|
|
On very old systems, this function operated on an array of @samp{int},
|
|
even though that was a different size than an array of @samp{gid_t}.

It is unspecified whether the effective group id will be included in
|
|
the returned list, nor whether the list will be sorted in any
|
|
particular order. For that matter, some platforms include the
|
|
effective group id twice, if it is also a member of the current
|
|
supplemental group ids.
