.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.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setuid
|
|
function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real 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.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real group ID
|
|
of the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
|
|
Supplementary group IDs remain unchanged.
|
|
.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-group-ID.
|
|
.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
|
|
not defined.
|
|
We do not implement the
|
|
.Li _POSIX_SAVED_IDS
|
|
option as specified in the standard
|
|
because this would make it impossible for a set-user-ID executable owned
|
|
by a user other than the super-user to permanently revoke its privileges.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn seteuid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn setegid
|
|
functions are compliant with
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setuid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
functions appeared in
|
|
.At v2
|
|
and
|
|
.At v4 ,
|
|
respectively.
