NAME
   Test::Unix::Group - Test::Builder based tests for Unix groups

VERSION
   Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS
       use Test::Unix::Group tests => 4;

       group_ok({ name => 'wheel' }, "'wheel' must exist");
       group_ok({ name => 'wheel' }); # Auto-generate test name
       group_ok({ name => 'wheel',
                  gid  => 0, }, "'wheel' must have gid 0");

       group_ok({ name => 'wheel', members => [qw(root nik)], }
                "'wheel' has the correct members");

   Test::Unix::Group automatically exports "group_ok()" to make it easier
   to test whether or not Unix groups have been correctly configured.

   Test::Unix::Group uses Test::Builder, so plays nicely with Test::Simple,
   Test::More, and other Test::Builder based modules.

FUNCTIONS
 group_ok($spec, [ $test_name ]);
   group_ok() tests that a group exists and matches the given
   specification.

   The specification is a hashref that consists of one or more keys. Keys
   are taken from the User::grent module, and are "name", "passwd", "gid",
   and "members". See User::grent for more details.

   Each value associated with a key, except "members", is the value that
   that entry is supposed to have.

   "members" behaves a little differently. The "members" key should have an
   array ref as a value. This array should contain the user names of all
   the users who must be members of the group. Note that this is not an
   exclusive list, and allows for users other than those in the list to be
   members of the group. This is because it is not practical to test all
   the accounts on the system to verify that they are not members of the
   given group via their user account GID.

   User accounts provided to the "members" key are looked for in the list
   of members explicitly listed in the group. If they are not found there
   then their account information is obtained and their account GID is
   examined to see if they are members through that mechanism.

   Only the "name" key is mandatory, the others are optional. If they are
   not present in the specification then they are not checked.

   The $test_name is optional. If it is not present then a sensible one is
   generated following the form

       Checking group '$group' ($key, $key, $key, ...)

EXAMPLES
   Verify that a group exists.

       group_ok({ name => 'wheel' }, "Group 'wheel' exists");

   Verify that a group exists with a given GID. Omit the test name, rely on
   the default.

       group_ok({ name => 'wheel', gid => 0 });

   Verify that the group exists and contains at least the members "qw(root
   nik)".

       group_ok({ name => 'wheel', members => [ qw(root nik) ] });
