The members command is used to display a list of the members of a group in a Linux or Unix-like system. The members command takes the name of a group as its argument and outputs the names of the users that belong to the group.
Here are some common examples of using the members command:
- To display the members of a group:
members groupname
- To display the members of all groups:
for i in $(cat /etc/group | cut -d: -f1); do echo $i:; members $i; done
Note: The exact behavior of the members command may vary depending on the system. Some systems may not have the members command installed, in which case you can use the getent command to display group information:
getent group groupname
