Can GID values be negative?

No, GID (Group ID) values cannot be negative. GIDs are represented as unsigned integers, which means they can only take on non-negative values.

Key Points:

• GIDs typically range from 0 to 65535 in most Linux systems.
• Negative values are not valid for GIDs and would lead to errors if attempted.
