<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>getresuid</B>()
returns the real UID, the effective UID, and the saved set-user-ID
of the calling process, in the arguments
<I>ruid</I>,
<I>euid</I>,
and
<I>suid</I>,
respectively.
<B>getresgid</B>()
performs the analogous task for the process's group IDs.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
On success, zero is returned.
On error, -1 is returned, and
<I>errno</I>
is set appropriately.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>EFAULT</B>
<DD>
One of the arguments specified an address outside the calling program's
address space.
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>VERSIONS</H2>
These system calls appeared on Linux starting with kernel 2.1.44.
<P>
The prototypes are given by glibc since version 2.3.2,
provided
<B>_GNU_SOURCE</B>
is defined.
<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
These calls are nonstandard;
they also appear on HP-UX and some of the BSDs.
<A NAME="lbAI">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
The original Linux
<B>getresuid</B>()
and
<B>getresgid</B>()
system calls supported only 16-bit user and group IDs.
Subsequently, Linux 2.4 added
<B>getresuid32</B>()
and
<B>getresgid32</B>(),
supporting 32-bit IDs.
The glibc
<B>getresuid</B>()
and
<B>getresgid</B>()
wrapper functions transparently deal with the variations across kernel versions.
