Descrierea

Gets information about a group provided its name.

Parametri

name: The name of the group

Valorile întoarse

Returns an array on success, sau false în cazul eșecului. The array elements returned are:

**The group information array**
Element	Description
name	The name element contains the name of the group. This is a short, usually less than 16 character "handle" of the group, not the real, full name. This should be the same as the `name` parameter used when calling the function, and hence redundant.
passwd	The passwd element contains the group's password in an encrypted format. Often, for example on a system employing "shadow" passwords, an asterisk is returned instead.
gid	Group ID of the group in numeric form.
members	This consists of an array of string's for all the members in the group.
