.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR getuid
|
|
function returns the real user ID of the calling process.
|
|
The
|
|
.BR geteuid
|
|
function
|
|
returns the effective user ID of the calling process.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The real user ID is that of the user who has invoked the program.
|
|
As the effective user ID
|
|
gives the process additional permissions during
|
|
execution of
|
|
.I set-user-ID
|
|
mode processes,
|
|
.BR getuid
|
|
is used to determine the real-user-id of the calling process.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.BR getuid
|
|
and
|
|
.BR geteuid
|
|
functions are always successful, and no return value is reserved to
|
|
indicate an error.
