Thegroupinfo utility retrieves the group information
from the system. The groupinfo utility is only
available if built with EXTENSIONS. See

The following command line options are recognised:
-e- Return 0 if the group exists, and non-zero if the group does not exist, on the system. No information is displayed. This form of the command is useful for scripts which need to check whether a particular group name or gid is already in use on the system.
-v- Perform any actions in a verbose manner.
The group argument may either be a group's name, or a gid.
