.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setuid
|
|
function
|
|
sets the real and effective
|
|
user IDs and the saved set-user-ID of the current process
|
|
to the specified value.
|
|
.\" Comment out next block for !_POSIX_SAVED_IDS
|
|
.\" The real user ID and the saved set-user-ID are changed only if the
|
|
.\" effective user ID is that of the super user.
|
|
.\" I.e.
|
|
.\" .Fn setuid
|
|
.\" function is equal to

|
.\" .Fn seteuid
|
|
.\" function if the effective user ID is not that of the super user.
|
|
.\" End of block
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setuid
|
|
function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real user ID
|
|
.\" Comment out next line for !_POSIX_SAVED_IDS
|
|
.\" or the saved set-user-ID
|
|
.\" Next line is for Appendix B.4.2.2 case.
|
|
or the effective user ID
|
|
of the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
function
|
|
sets the real and effective
|
|
group IDs and the saved set-group-ID of the current process
|
|
to the specified value.
|
|
.\" Comment out next block for !_POSIX_SAVED_IDS
|
|
.\" The real group ID and the saved set-group-ID are changed only if the

|

|
.\" .Fn setegid
|
|
.\" function if the effective user ID is not that of the super user.
|
|
.\" End of block
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real group ID
|
|
.\" Comment out next line for !_POSIX_SAVED_IDS
|
|
.\" or the saved set-group-ID
|
|
.\" Next line is for Appendix B.4.2.2 case.
|
|
or the effective group ID
|
|
of the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn seteuid
|
|
function
|
|
.Pq Fn setegid
|
|
sets the effective user ID (group ID) of the
|
|
current process.
|
|
The effective user ID may be set to the value
|
|
of the real user ID or the saved set-user-ID (see
|
|
.Xr intro 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr execve 2 ) ;
|
|
in this way, the effective user ID of a set-user-ID executable
|
|
may be toggled by switching to the real user ID, then re-enabled
|
|
by reverting to the set-user-ID value.
|
|
Similarly, the effective group ID may be set to the value
|
|
of the real group ID or the saved set-user-ID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon success, these functions return 0;
|
|
otherwise \-1 is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the user is not the super user, or the uid
|
|
specified is not the real, effective ID, or saved ID,
|
|
these functions return \-1.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setuid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
functions are compliant with the
|
|
.St -p1003.1-90
|
|
specification with
|
|
.Li _POSIX_SAVED_IDS
|
|
.\" Uncomment next line for !_POSIX_SAVED_IDS
|
|
not
|
|
defined with the permitted extensions from Appendix B.4.2.2.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn seteuid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn setegid
|
|
functions are extensions based on the
|
|
.Tn POSIX
|
|
concept of
|
|
.Li _POSIX_SAVED_IDS ,
|
|
and have been proposed for a future revision of the standard.
