<content type='text'>
* src/group-list.h (print_group_list): Add a parameter for the
delimiter of type char.
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise, and use it instead
of a white space character to delimit the group entries.
* src/groups.c (main): Pass white space character to print_group_list().
* src/id.c (longopts):  Add array element for the new long option.
(usage): Document the new option.  While at it, fix the alignment
of the descriptions to match that of HELP_OPTION_DESCRIPTION.
(main): Define the bool flag opt_zero indicating the use of the
new option.  In the getopt_long loop, handle it.
Output an error diagnostic in the case the --zero option has been
specified together with the default format.
In the case of -gG, pass either a NUL or a white space character to
print_group_list() - depending on the above new flag.
Likewise change the printing of the final newline character: output
a NUL instead if the --zero option has been specified.
* doc/coreutils.texi (id invocation): Document the new option.
While at it, move the @exitstatus macro down after the macro
@primaryAndSupplementaryGroups in order to be consistent with
other texinfo documents.
(groups invocation): Move @exitstatus down after the macro
@primaryAndSupplementaryGroups here, too.
* tests/misc/id-zero.sh: Add new test exercising the new option.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Reference it.
* NEWS (New features): Mention the new option.

<title>id,groups: with no user name, print only real and/or effective IDs,</title>

... i.e., don't use the getpw* functions.

Before this change, running groups or id with no user name argument
would include a group name or ID from /etc/passwd.  Thus, under unusual
circumstances (default group is changed, but has not taken effect for a
given session), those programs could print a name or ID that is neither
real nor effective.

To demonstrate, run this:

    echo 'for i in 1 2; do id -G; sleep 1.5; done' \
      |su -s /bin/sh ftp - &amp;
    sleep 1; perl -pi -e 's/^(ftp:x:\d+):(\d+)/$1:9876/' /etc/passwd

Those id -G commands printed the following:

    50
    50 9876

With this change, they print this:

    50
    50

Similarly, running those programs set-GID could make them
print one ID too many.

* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): When username is NULL, pass
egid, not getpwuid(ruid)-&gt;pw_gid), to xgetgroups, per the API
requirements of xgetgroups callee, mgetgroups.
When not using the password database, don't call getpwuid.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* tests/misc/id-setgid: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
(root_tests): It's a root-only test, so add it here, too.

<title>id: handle systems without getgroups support</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/coreutils/commit/?id=9b4b38f56e854f8f1343fed9dbc225ffbb1d77d4'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9b4b38f56e854f8f1343fed9dbc225ffbb1d77d4</id>
<content type='text'>
If getgroups failed with ENOSYS, mgetgroups would unnecessarily
fail, and that provoked id into freeing an uninitialized pointer.
Meanwhile, we were not using xalloc_die properly.  Both issues
are better solved in gnulib, by introducing xgetgroups; this
patch uses the new interface.

Regression introduced by commit 6a31fd8d7.

* gnulib: Update, for mgetgroups improvments.
* src/id.c (print_full_info): Adjust caller to die on allocation
failure, and no longer worry about ENOSYS.
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Likewise.
* src/setuidgid.c (main): Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* THANKS: Update.

<content type='text'>
A replacement getgroups is now guaranteed to exist, but it may
fail with ENOSYS.  mgetgroups is moved to gnulib, and now takes
gid_t instead of GETGROUPS_T (but setgroups still needs GETGROUPS_T).

* gnulib: Update to latest.
* gl/modules/mgetgroups: Delete, moved to gnulib.
* gl/m4/mgetgroups.m4: Likewise.
* gl/lib/mgetgroups.h: Likewise.
* gl/lib/mgetgroups.c: Likewise.
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): Adjust callers.
* src/id.c (print_full_info): Likewise.
