The Mono.Unix.UnixGroupInfo type is a FxDG-compliant wrapper over the Mono.Unix.Native.Group native type. It represents a single entry from the local group database, typically /etc/group.
Unix Groups are part of the file system access rules.
Access to file system objects (as represented by Mono.Unix.UnixFileSystemInfo) is controlled by the file system access permissions, UnixFileSystemInfo.FileAccessPermissions. Mono.Unix.FileAccessPermissions is a nine-bit field specifying read, write, and execute access for the owner, group, and everyone else (other).
Access by the file's owner group is controlled by the bits specified by (UnixFileSystemInfo.FileAccessPermissions & FileAccessPermissions.GroupReadWriteExecute). All group members get these access permissions, except for the file's owner (if they belong to the file's owner group).
