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