Subject: Re: getgrgid and errno
The code which you show says "if (rv) errno = rv". The debugger shows that
rv is 0. So the condition is false and errno is not set.
It must have been set to ENOENT somewhere above that -- as you single-step
through the code, keep printing errno on each line to find out where.
