There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn initgroups "const char *name" "gid_t basegid"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn initgroups
|
|
function
|
|
uses the
|
|
.Xr getgrouplist 3
|
|
function to calculate the supplementary group IDs for the user
|
|
specified in
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
This group list is then set up for the current process using
|
|
.Xr setgroups 2 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa basegid
|
|
is automatically included in the group list.
|
|
Typically this value is given as
|
|
the group number from the password file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the groups database lists more than
|
|
.Ev NGROUPS
|
|
groups for
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
(including one for
|
|
.Fa basegid ) ,
|
|
the later groups are ignored.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn initgroups
|
|
function
|
|
returns \-1 if it was not invoked by the super-user.

|
function appeared in

|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist
|
|
function called by
|
|
.Fn initgroups
|
|
uses the routines based on
|
|
.Xr getgrent 3 .
|
|
If the invoking program uses any of these routines,
|
|
the group structure will
|
|
be overwritten in the call to
|
|
.Fn initgroups .
