## Name
setresuid, setresgid - set real, effective, and saved user / group ID
## Synopsis
```**c++
#include <unistd.h>
int setresuid(uid_t, uid_t, uid_t);
int setresgid(gid_t, gid_t, gid_t);
```
## Description
Sets all of real, effective, and saved user or group ID to the given values.
An argument of `-1` keeps the corresponding ID unchanged.
For non-superusers, each of the given values has to be equal to any of the current real, effective, or saved IDs for the call to succeed.
## Return value
If the call was set successful, returns 0.
Else, returns -1 and sets `errno` to describe the error.
## Errors
* `EPERM`: At least one of the passed IDs was not equal to the current real, effective, or saved ID, and the user is not superuser.
