vigrp(1M)                                                         vigrp(1M)

NAME
     vigrp - edit the group file

SYNOPSIS
     vigrp [-dns] [-m n] [-w n] [name]

DESCRIPTION
     vigrp edits the group file name (/etc/group by default), folding long
     lines at a group member boundary. A "\" at the end of a line indicates
     that a group member list continues on the next line.

     vigrp is particularly useful for viewing and modifying group files
     having lines longer than some text editors are able to handle. The vi
     editor will be used unless the environment variable EDITOR indicates
     an alternate editor. If the group file is currently being edited or
     the user does not have write permission for the containing directory,
     the file will be opened read-only. After leaving the editor, if the
     file was modified and the -n option was not given, the file will be
     checked with grpck(1M).

OPTIONS
     -d   Displays duplicate entries.

     -m n Displays a maximum of n group members per line.

     -n   Don't check the modified file with grpck.

     -s   Sorts the entries by group number and group member, removing
          duplicates.

     -w n Displays a maximum line width of n characters (default 80).

FILES
     The contents of name are copied to /tmp/group.XXXXXX, which is then
     passed to the editor with long lines folded. If changes were made, the
     folded lines are concatenated and written to name.tmp, grpck is run
     over the file (if -n is not specified), name is renamed to oname, and
     name.tmp is renamed to name.

SEE ALSO
     grpck(1M), group(4).
