Summary 0001400: Typo in variable name (nogroups ==> ngroups)
Description In the EXAMPLES section of getgroups(), there is the following:

[[
gid_t *group;
int nogroups;
long ngroups_max;
ngroups_max = sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX) + 1;
group = (gid_t *)malloc(ngroups_max *sizeof(gid_t));
ngroups = getgroups(ngroups_max, group);
]]

A variable called "nogroups" is declared, but later the variable used in line 35519 is called "ngroups". To fix this (in a way that employs variable names that are also consistent with line 35516), "nogroups" should be changed to "ngroups".

Note that the same issue is present in Issue 8, draft 1, and reported as https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1399 [^]
Desired Action  In line 35515, change "nogroups" to "ngroups".
