Definition
This group is defined as follow: it is the external semidirect product of cyclic group:Z3 by dihedral group:D8 where the action of the latter on the former is given by a homomorphism whose kernel is one of the Klein four-subgroups of dihedral group:D8. Note that the homomorphism is completely specified by its kernel because there is a unique isomorphism between any two groups isomorphic to cyclic group:Z2.

GAP implementation
Group ID
This finite group has order 24 and has ID 8 among the groups of order 24 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are 15 groups of order 24. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:
SmallGroup(24,8)
For instance, we can use the following assignment in GAP to create the group and name it :
gap> G := SmallGroup(24,8);
Conversely, to check whether a given group is in fact the group we want, we can use GAP's IdGroup function:
IdGroup(G) = [24,8]
or just do:
IdGroup(G)
to have GAP output the group ID, that we can then compare to what we want.
