                     11: This library routine sets up the invoker's access group vector
                     12: by searching the
                     13: .I /etc/group
                     14: file for groups matching
                     15: .IR name .
                     16: The invokers real group ID should be passed in
                     17: .IR gid ,
                     18: as there is no need to load this into the vector.
                     19: .PP
                     20: .I Setgroups
                     21: returns 0 for success, or \-1 on error with
                     22: .I errno
                     23: set appropriately.
                     24: .PP
                     25: This routine is safe to use on systems
