      Which Command Will Display The Uid, Gid And Groups Your Current User Belongs To?

      The id command will display the Uid, Gid, and the groups of the current user. Now, let us discuss the id command in detail. The Id command is normally used to print the real and the effective user and also the group ids. Now, let us know what is actually the UID, GID. The UID and GID are normally called user ids and group ids. Here when you enter the command id and then press enter. Here it will be able to display all the details about a particular log id and its user id.

      We can say that it can able to display the user identification number group identification number and then the group that he joined into. It will also display the security context which is assigned to its user id.

      Now, let us discuss another subcommand like when we type id -a. It is the type of command that is mainly used in the multi-platform Linux operating system that can able to avoid the platform-dependent output.

      Hence, we can say that if we type the same id -a command in any different operating system like Linux, it will also display the same output.

      This is the only difference between the id and id -a. Here, if we want to see only the secondary types of the groups and not the primary types of the groups, we can simply type the command id -G. Hence, here it will able to provide the numbers which all are belong to the secondary groups.

      And suppose, if we wanted to see the real id numbers and display only its names then we can able to type the command id – n. This command will be able to display real ids along with their names.

      Here, when we give the command id -Gn, it will only display the names. Instead of the number, it will only provide the names as the output.

      We also have another type of command if we want to see the primary rule. We use the command called the id -gn that will only display the user name. Here all the users must contain one user group which we call the primary group.

      The user can only able to join the primary group but it can also join a number of the second group. This is called the primary group.

      The id command can able to give only the primary group number without providing any of the descriptions. And if we give the id username, then it will be able to display the primary group and then the second group.

      And suppose, if we want to see only the security context then we use the command called as the id -Z and then press enter. and here it will be able to display the current user context and if we try to provide the username t will be able to provide its particular user id along with its details.
