  # NAME
  
  Raku port of Perl's getgrnam() and associated built-ins
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use P5getgrnam;
  
  my @result = getgrnam(~$*USER);
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  This module tries to mimic the behaviour of Perl's `getgrnam` and associated built-ins as closely as possible in the Raku Programming Language.
  
  It exports:
  
  ```
  endgrent getgrent getgrgid getgrnam setgrent
  
  ```
  
  # ORIGINAL PERL 5 DOCUMENTATION
  
  ```
  getgrnam NAME
  getgrgid GID
  getgrent
  setgrent
  endgrent
          These routines are the same as their counterparts in the system C
          library. In list context, the return values from the various get
          routines are as follows:
  
           # 0        1          2           3         4
           ( $name,   $passwd,   $gid,       $members  ) = getgr*
  
          In scalar context, you get the name, unless the function was a
          lookup by name, in which case you get the other thing, whatever it
          is. (If the entry doesn't exist you get the undefined value.) For
          example:
  
              $gid   = getgrnam($name);
              $name  = getgrgid($num);
  
          The $members value returned by getgr*() is a space-separated list
          of the login names of the members of the group.

  # PORTING CAVEATS
  
  This module depends on the availability of POSIX semantics. This is generally not available on Windows, so this module will probably not work on Windows.
