getresuid, getresgid — get real, effective and saved user/group IDs
#define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h>
int
getresuid( |
uid_t * | ruid, |
| uid_t * | euid, | |
| uid_t * | suid); |
int
getresgid( |
gid_t * | rgid, |
| gid_t * | egid, | |
| gid_t * | sgid); |
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 process's group IDs.
On success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is
returned, and errno is set
appropriately.
One of the arguments specified an address outside the calling program's address space.
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.
