NAME
       id - Display current user and group ID names

SYNOPSIS
       id [-a]

DESCRIPTION
       id  displays the current real and effective user and group
       ID names or values.  If the value does not have  a  corre-
       sponding  entry  in  /etc/passwd  or /etc/group, the value
       will be displayed without  the  corresponding  name.   The
       optional  -a  flag  will  display the group set on systems
       which support multiple concurrent group membership.

FILES
       /etc/passwd - user account information
       /etc/group - group information
