group ID (GID), and members of the specified

The options are as follows:
-e- Do not display anything (quiet mode). This form of the command is useful for scripts which need to check whether a particular group name or GID is already in use on the system.

CAVEATS
If the specified group is the primary group
of a user, but that user is not listed as a member of the
group in the
group(5) file, the groupinfo utility fails to
list that user as a member of the group.
