setgrent

setgrent

Opens the groups file (usually /etc/group on Unix systems) and resets the top of the file as the starting point for any read and/or write functions on the file (with the proper permissions). This function will reset the getgrent function back to retrieve group entries from the start of the group file. Not implemented on Win32 systems.
