|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The real and effective group ID's of the
|
|
|
|
|
current process are set according to the arguments. If the real group ID
|
|
|
|
|
is changed, the saved group ID is changed to the new value of the effective
|
|
|
|
|
group ID.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa rgid
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa egid
|
|
|
|
|
is -1, the current gid is filled in by the system.
|
|
|
|
|
Unprivileged users may change the real group
|
|
|
|
|
ID to the effective group ID, and may change the effective group ID to the
|
|
|
|
|
real group ID or the saved group ID; only the super-user may
|
|
|
|
|
make other changes.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setregid
|
|
|
|
|
function has been used to swap the real and effective group
|
|
|
|
|
IDs in set-group-ID programs to temporarily relinquish the set-group-ID
|
|
|
|
|
value. This purpose is now better served by the use of the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setegid
|
|
|
|
|
function (see
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr setuid 2 ).
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
When setting the real and effective group IDs to the same value, this
|
|
|
|
|
function is equivalent to the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
|
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
|
When setting only the effective group ID, this function is equivalent to
|
|
|
|
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setegid
|
|
|
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise,
|
|
|
|
|
a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
|
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
|
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
The current process is not the super-user and a change
|
|
|
|
|
other than changing the effective group-id to the real group-id
|
|
|
|
|
was specified.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setregid
|
|
|
|
|
function call appeared in
|
|
|
|
|
.Bx 4.2
|
|
|
|
|
and was dropped in
|
|
|
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
|
|
|
It was reimplemented in
|
|
|
|
|
.Nx 1.2
|
|
|
|
|
in a way compatible with
|
|
|
|
|
.Bx 4.3 ,
|
|
|
|
|
SunOS and Linux.
