The nonreentrant functions return a pointer to static storage, where this static storage contains further pointers to group name, password, and members. The reentrant functions described here return all of that in caller-provided buffers. First of all there is the buffer gbuf that can hold a struct group. And next the buffer buf of size buflen that can hold additional strings. The result of these functions, the struct group read from the stream, is stored in the provided buffer *gbuf, and a pointer to this struct group is returned in *gbufp. 0 *gbufp struct group. *gbufp NULL.
