NAME
       id - Print user and group information for each specified USER, or (when
       USER omitted) for the current user.

SYNOPSIS
       id [-A ] [-u|--user] [-g|--group] [-G|--groups] [-p ] [-n|--name] [-P ]
       [-r|--real] [-z|--zero] [-Z|--context] [-h|--help] [-V|--version]
       [USER]

DESCRIPTION
       Print user and group information for each specified USER, or (when USER
       omitted) for the current user.

OPTIONS
       -A     Display the process audit user ID and other process audit
              properties, which requires privilege (not available on Linux).

       -u, --user
              Display only the effective user ID as a number.

       -g, --group
              Display only the effective group ID as a number

       -G, --groups
              Display only the different group IDs as white-space separated
              numbers, in no particular order.

       -p     Make the output human-readable. Each display is on a separate
              line.

       -n, --name
              Display the name of the user or group ID for the -G, -g and -u
              options instead of the number.  If any of the ID numbers cannot
              be mapped into names, the number will be displayed as usual.

       -P     Display the id as a password file entry.

       -r, --real
              Display the real ID for the -G, -g and -u options instead of the
              effective ID.

       -z, --zero
              delimit entries with NUL characters, not whitespace; not
              permitted in default format

       -Z, --context
              print only the security context of the process (not enabled)

       -h, --help
              Print help

       -V, --version
              Print version

       [USER]


EXTRA
       The id utility displays the user and group names and numeric IDs, of
       the calling process, to the standard output. If the real and effective
       IDs are different, both are displayed, otherwise only the real ID is
       displayed.

       If a user (login name or user ID) is specified, the user and group IDs
       of that user are displayed. In this case, the real and effective IDs
       are assumed to be the same.
