Command to list users and groups?

Hi. I search the internet and it mentioned lsuser & lsgroup but command not found. What is the command to list users and groups?

They are, I believe, AIX commands.
I am not sure there is a command to 'nicely' list the users and groups, beyond using cat and/or some form of awk to prettify the output.

I've got a
groups [user]
command. Looks like you need to read /etc/passwd for the users. Roughly:
gawk -F: '/home/{print $1}' /etc/passwd

gawk awk or nawk or some variant new to me.
