## setgrent

    setgrent

Opens the groups file (usually /etc/group on Unix systems) and resets the top of the file as the starting point for any read and/or write functions on the file (with the proper permissions). This function will reset the `getgrent` function back to retrieve group entries from the start of the group file. Not implemented on Win32 systems.
