GETRESUID(2)               Linux Programmer's Manual              GETRESUID(2)



 

NAME


       getresuid, getresgid - get real, effective and saved user/group IDs

 

SYNOPSIS


       #define _GNU_SOURCE
       #include 

       int getresuid(uid_t *ruid, uid_t *euid, uid_t *suid);
       int getresgid(gid_t *rgid, gid_t *egid, gid_t *sgid);

 

DESCRIPTION






       getresuid() returns the real UID, the effective UID, and the saved set-
       user-ID of the calling process, in the arguments ruid, euid, and  suid,
       respectively.   getresgid()  performs  the  analogous task for the pro-
       cess's group IDs.

 

RETURN VALUE


       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and  errno  is
       set appropriately.

 

ERRORS


       EFAULT One  of  the  arguments specified an address outside the calling
              program's address space.

 

VERSIONS


       These system calls appeared on Linux starting with kernel 2.1.44.

       The prototypes  are  given  by  glibc  since  version  2.3.2,  provided
       _GNU_SOURCE is defined.

 

CONFORMING TO


       These calls are non-standard; they also appear on HP-UX and some of the
       BSDs.
