Real example:

su [-lp] [-u UID] [-g GID,...] [-s SHELL] [-c CMD] [USER [COMMAND...]]
       -u      Switch to UID instead of USER
       -g      Switch to GID (only root allowed, can be comma separated list)

util-linux has no -u UID.
util-linux has -g, but it's not -g GID. Instead, it's -g GROUPNAME,
it does not accept comma list of groups, and it sets only primary group.
util-linux has -G GROUP for setting supplementary group ids,
and to set more than one of them, they use -G GRP1 -G GRP2 style.
