−n With −u or −g, output the name in the format "%s\n" instead of the numeric ID. 

−r With −u or −g, output the real ID instead of the effective ID. 

−u Output only the user ID.  The default output format is "%d\n".  To modify, use the −n option.  The default group ID is the effective group ID.  To modify, use the −r option.
