I saw a request somewhere for a program like the SysV id(1). I got used
to it under SunOS, and so I wrote this one to use on our BSD machines.
As far as I can tell, they act identically - though I can't check this,
since I do not have access to source. The only area they may differ is
if the user or group name can not be determined.

There is no man page - the program is very simple, it justs prints out
info on your real & effective user & group id, and your current group
access list.  Example (mythical) outputs are:

   uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),1(daemon) 
   uid=1074(alfie) gid=1(general) euid=1(daemon) groups=1(general)

To compile, no magic flags needed, just "cc -o id id.c".
