     NAME
          id - display user and group IDs and names

     SYNOPSIS
          id

     DESCRIPTION
          id writes a message on the standard output giving the user
          and group IDs and the corresponding names of the invoking
          process.  If the effective and real IDs do not match, both
          are displayed.

     EXAMPLES
          If logged in as the user guest, the command

               id

          will return

               uid=100 (guest) gid=100 (users)

          where 100 and guest are the user's ID number and name and
          100 and users are the user's group ID number and group name.
          These values are set up in the administrative file
          /etc/passwd.
