Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply I suggest maybe a more informative --help on the users.
I testes all options you sent and I may have been unclear:
I meant something like (if not already available):
$command -option
$gpaiva groups: user, root admin, etc
It appears that the option is available via multiple commands in both users and who if the command output is combined with other commands namely sort.
But not as a -option that was my suggestion. Or at least something in the --help command.
Alternatively
"How about we just reference the appropriate utils
in the man page, as done in the attached?"
My problem was that without internet to search for the command I could not know based on help how to do this out of the box.
Best regards.

$ who -u | cut -f1 -d ' ' | sort -u
$ users | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -u

$ getent passwd | cut -f1 -d:
I think the required functionality exists elsewhere.
How about we just reference the appropriate utils
in the man page, as done in the attached?
