## Name
|
||||
|
||||
seteuid, setegid - set effective user / group ID
|
||||
|
||||
## Synopsis
|
||||
|
||||
```**c++
|
||||
#include <unistd.h>
|
||||
|
||||
int seteuid(uid_t);
|
||||
int setegid(gid_t);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the effective user or group ID.
|
||||
|
||||
For non-superusers, the effective ID can only be set to the current real or saved ID.
|
||||
|
||||
In particular, `seteuid(geteuid())` will fail if the current effective user ID is not equal to the current real or saved ID.
|
||||
|
||||
## Return value
|
||||
|
||||
If the call was set successful, returns 0.
|
||||
Else, returns -1 and sets `errno` to describe the error.
|
||||
|
||||
## Errors
|
||||
|
||||
* `EPERM`: The new ID is not equal to the real ID or saved ID, and the user is not superuser.
