+.SH NAME
+setreuid
+\(em set real and effective user IDs
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <unistd.h>
+.P
+int setreuid(uid_t \fIruid\fP, uid_t \fIeuid\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIsetreuid\fR()
+function shall set the real and effective user IDs of the current
+process to the values specified by the
+.IR ruid
+and
+.IR euid
+arguments. If
+.IR ruid
+or
+.IR euid
+is \(mi1, the corresponding effective or real user ID of the current
+process shall be left unchanged.
+.P
+A process with appropriate privileges can set either ID to any value.
+An unprivileged process can only set the effective user ID if the
+.IR euid
+argument is equal to either the real, effective, or saved user ID of
+the process.
+.P
+If the real user ID is being set (\c
+.IR ruid
+is not \(mi1), or the effective user ID is being set to a value not
+equal to the real user ID, then the saved set-user-ID of the current
+process shall be set equal to the new effective user ID.
+.P
+It is unspecified whether a process without appropriate privileges is
+permitted to change the real user ID to match the current effective user
+ID or saved set-user-ID of the process.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, \(mi1
+shall be returned and
+.IR errno
+set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIsetreuid\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
+The value of the
+.IR ruid
+or
+.IR euid
+argument is invalid or out-of-range.
+.TP
+.BR EPERM
+The current process does not have appropriate privileges, and either an
+attempt was made to change the effective user ID to a value other than
+the real user ID or the saved set-user-ID or an attempt was made to
+change the real user ID to a value not permitted by the
+implementation.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS "Setting the Effective User ID to the Real User ID"
+.P
+The following example sets the effective user ID of the calling process
+to the real user ID, so that files created later will be owned by the
+current user. It also sets the saved set-user-ID to the real user ID,
+so any future attempt to set the effective user ID back to its previous
+value will fail.

+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+Earlier versions of this standard did not specify whether the saved
+set-user-ID was affected by
+\fIsetreuid\fR()
+calls. This version specifies common existing practice that constitutes
+an important security feature. The ability to set both the effective user
+ID and saved set-user-ID to be the same as the real user ID means that
+any security weakness in code that is executed after that point cannot
+result in malicious code being executed with the previous effective user
+ID. Privileged applications could already do this using just
+\fIsetuid\fR(),
+but for non-privileged applications the only standard method available
+is to use this feature of
+\fIsetreuid\fR().
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
