hello

I know using "putpwent()" to wirte messages to /etc/passwd file.
for example , write a struct "passwd" to /etc/passwd file.
but I do not know how to write a struct "group" to /etc/passwd file.
who tell me how to do it.
what functions may achieve it?

thanks.

There are no standard library call to populate the /etc/group file I'm aware of, if it's what you are looking for.
This file's format is pretty basic, so it would certainly be easy to write your own, should you need it.
