getresuid, getresgid — get real, effective and saved user/group IDs
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #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.
The original Linux getresuid() and getresgid() system calls supported only
16-bit user and group IDs. Subsequently, Linux 2.4 added
getresuid32() and getresgid32(), supporting 32-bit IDs. The
glibc getresuid() and
getresgid() wrapper functions
transparently deal with the variations across kernel
versions.
