NAME
setgroups - set group access list
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
setgroups(ngroups, gidset)
int ngroups;
const int *gidset;
DESCRIPTION
Setgroups sets the group access list of the current user
process
according to the array gidset. The parameter ngroups
indicates the
number of entries in the array and must be no more than
NGROUPS, as
defined in <sys/param.h>.
Only the super-user may set new groups.
RETURN VALUE
A 0 value is returned on success, -1 on error, with a error
code
stored in errno.
ERRORS
The setgroups call will fail if:
[EPERM] The caller is not the super-user.
[EFAULT] The address specified
for gidset is outside the
process address space.
SEE ALSO
getgroups(2), initgroups(3)
BUGS
The gidset array should be of type gid_t, but remains
integer for
compatibility with earlier systems.
