The URLs of the form `help://man/<section>/<page>` link to another help page inside the help application. All previous relative page links are replaced by this new form. This doesn't change any behavior but it looks much nicer :^) Note that man doesn't handle these new links, but the previous relative links didn't work either.

## 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.
|
|
Otherwise, 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.
|
|
* `EINVAL`: The new ID is set to invalid value (-1).
