I'm not really following the details, but is this useful to you?

% cat g.c && cc g.c -o g && ./g

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    char buf[1024];
    struct group g, *p;

    errno = 0;
    rc = getgrnam_r(argc > 1 ? argv[1] : "nosuchgrouphere",
                    &g, buf, sizeof(buf), &p);
    printf("%s(%p) %m(%d)\n", p ? g.gr_name : NULL, p, errno);
    return (rc == 0 && p == NULL);
}
(null)((nil)) No such process(3)
