The information was put there in 1996 -- it just got lost because of a cvs mishap. I don't believe it to be self-explanatory -- there is not even a single example in the man-page. One could *guess*, that the list is null terminated, but it should be explicit, or else time will be wasted searching for other api (getgroupnumber() ?) or writing test-programs.
