.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm setregid
|
|
.Nd set real and effective group ID
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <unistd.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn setregid "gid_t rgid" "gid_t egid"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The real and effective group ID's of the current process
|
|
are set to the arguments.
|
|
Unprivileged users may change the real group
|
|
ID to the effective group ID and vice-versa; only the super-user may
|
|
make other changes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Supplying a value of -1 for either the real or effective
|
|
group ID forces the system to substitute the current
|
|
ID in place of the -1 parameter.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setregid
|
|
function was intended to allow swapping
|
|
the real and effective group IDs
|
|
in set-group-ID programs to temporarily relinquish the set-group-ID value.
|
|
This function did not work correctly,
|
|
and its purpose is now better served by the use of the
|
|
.Fn setegid
|
|
function (see
|
|
.Xr setuid 2 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When setting the real and effective group IDs to the same value,
|
|
the standard
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
function is preferred.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise,
|
|
a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width [EPERM]
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The current process is not the super-user and a change
|
|
other than changing the effective group-id to the real group-id
|
|
was specified.
