getresuid(2) System Calls Manual getresuid(2)
getresuid, getresgid - get real, effective, and saved user/group
IDs
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#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 to indicate the error.
EFAULT One of the arguments specified an address outside the
calling program's address space.
None. These calls also appear on HP-UX and some of the BSDs.
Linux 2.1.44, glibc 2.3.2.
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.
