Stop calling system calls "function calls". Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility". When referring to a non-BSD implementation in the HISTORY section, call syscall a function, to be safe.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setresuid
|
|
system call sets the real,
|
|
effective and saved user IDs of the current process.
|
|
The analogous
|
|
.Fn setresgid
|
|
sets the real, effective and saved group IDs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Privileged processes may set these IDs
|
|
to arbitrary values.
|
|
Unprivileged processes are restricted
|
|
in that each of the new IDs must match one of the current IDs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Passing -1 as an argument causes the corresponding value
|
|
to remain unchanged.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getresgid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getresuid
|
|
calls retrieve the real, effective, and saved group and user IDs of
|
|
the current process, respectively.

|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The calling process was not privileged
|
|
and tried to change one or more IDs to a value
|
|
which was not the current real ID, the current effective ID
|
|
nor the current saved ID.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
An address passed to
|
|
.Fn getresgid
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn getresuid
|
|
was invalid.
