>From getgrnam(3):
The getgrnam() function returns a pointer to a structure containing the
group information from /etc/group for the entry that matches the group
name name.
The getgrgid() function returns a pointer to a structure containing the
group information from /etc/group for the entry that matches the group
gid gid.

FILES
/etc/group
group database file
In reality, glibc uses other sources also to find information about
groups, not just /etc/group. For example, NIS: see #295680, which
started with a misunderstanding about this. Changing the working to say
something like "group information from the group database (e.g., in
/etc/group, NIS, and LDAP)" in the first two paragraphs and "default
group database file" in the FILES section might be good.
