.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
TAU_GET_PROFILE_GROUP
allows the user to dynamically create groups based on strings, rather than use predefined, statically assigned groups such as
TAU_USER1, TAU_USER2
etc. This allows names to be associated in creating unique groups that are more meaningful, using names of files or directories for instance.
