setreuid(2) System Calls Manual setreuid(2)Name
setreuid - set real and effective user ID's
Syntax
setreuid(ruid, euid)
intruid, euid;
Description
The real and effective user ID's of the current process are set according to the arguments. If ruid or euid is -1, the current uid is
filled in by the system.
Return Values
Upon successful completion, a value of zero (0) is returned. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
Environment
BSD
If the process is superuser, or and matches with the real user ID, the effective user ID, or the saved set-user-id (as described in ), then
the real, effective, and the saved set-user-id are set to and respectively.
POSIX
SYSTEM-FIVE
When your program is compiled in the POSIX or SYSTEM-FIVE mode, if both arguments to are -1, the system call returns a value of -1 and
errno is set to [EINVAL].
The following semantics apply when using the function:
If the process is the superuser, the real, effective, and saved set-user-id (as described in ) are set to and respectively.
If the process is not the superuser, but the and matches with the real user ID, the effective user ID (only in the SYSTEM-FIVE and BSD
environments), or the saved set-user-id, then the effective ID is set to The real user ID and the saved set-user-id are left unchanged.
