.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setuid
|
|
|
|
|
function sets the real and effective user IDs and the saved
|
|
|
|
|
set-user-ID of the current process to the specified value. The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setuid
|
|
|
|
|
function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real user ID of
|
|
|
|
|
the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
|
|
|
function sets the real and effective group IDs and the saved
|
|
|
|
|
set-group-ID of the current process to the specified value. The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setgid
|
|
|
|
|
function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real group ID
|
|
|
|
|
of the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn seteuid
|
|
|
|
|
function sets the effective user ID
|
|
|
|
|
of the current process. The effective user ID may be set to the value of
|
|
|
|
|
the real user ID or the saved set-user-ID (see
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr intro 2
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr execve 2 );
|
|
|
|
|
in this way, the effective user ID of a set-user-ID executable may be
|
|
|
|
|
toggled by switching to the real user ID, then re-enabled by reverting to
|
|
|
|
|
the set-user-ID value.
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, with
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn setegid
|
|
|
|
|
the effective group ID may be set to
|
|
|
|
|
the value of the real group ID or the saved set-user-ID.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
Upon success, these functions return 0;
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise \-1 is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
If the user is not the super user, or the uid (gid) specified is not
|
|
|
|
|
the real ID, effective ID, or saved ID of the process,
|
|
|
|
|
these functions return \-1.
