23 The s\bse\bet\btu\bui\bid\bd() function sets the real and effective user IDs and the saved
24 set-user-ID of the current process to the specified value. The s\bse\bet\btu\bui\bid\bd()
25 function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real user ID of
26 the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
27
28 The s\bse\bet\btg\bgi\bid\bd() function sets the real and effective group IDs and the saved
29 set-group-ID of the current process to the specified value. The s\bse\bet\btg\bgi\bid\bd()
30 function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real group ID
31 of the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
32
33 The s\bse\bet\bte\beu\bui\bid\bd() function (s\bse\bet\bte\beg\bgi\bid\bd()) sets the effective user ID (group ID)
34 of the current process. The effective user ID may be set to the value of
35 the real user ID or the saved set-user-ID (see intro(2) and execve(2));
36 in this way, the effective user ID of a set-user-ID executable may be
37 toggled by switching to the real user ID, then re-enabled by reverting to
38 the set-user-ID value. Similarly, the effective group ID may be set to
39 the value of the real group ID or the saved set-user-ID.

42 Upon success, these functions return 0; otherwise -1 is returned.
43
44 If the user is not the super user, or the uid specified is not the real,
45 effective ID, or saved ID, these functions return -1.

51 The s\bse\bet\btu\bui\bid\bd() and s\bse\bet\btg\bgi\bid\bd() functions are compliant with the IEEE
52 Std1003.1-1988 (``POSIX'') specification with _POSIX_SAVED_IDS not de-
53 fined. The s\bse\bet\bte\beu\bui\bid\bd() and s\bse\bet\bte\beg\bgi\bid\bd() functions are extensions based on the
54 POSIX concept of _POSIX_SAVED_IDS, and have been proposed for a future
55 revision of the standard.
