-.TH setuid 2 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
-.SH NAME
-setuid \- set user identity
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <unistd.h>
-.P
-.BI "int setuid(uid_t " uid );
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR setuid ()
-sets the effective user ID of the calling process.
-If the calling process is privileged
-(more precisely: if the process has the
-.B CAP_SETUID
-capability in its user namespace),
-the real UID and saved set-user-ID are also set.
-.P
-Under Linux,
-.BR setuid ()
-is implemented like the POSIX version with the
-.B _POSIX_SAVED_IDS
-feature.
-This allows a set-user-ID (other than root) program to drop all of its user
-privileges, do some un-privileged work, and then reengage the original
-effective user ID in a secure manner.
-.P
-If the user is root or the program is set-user-ID-root, special care must be
-taken:
-.BR setuid ()
-checks the effective user ID of the caller and if it is
-the superuser, all process-related user ID's are set to
-.IR uid .
-After this has occurred, it is impossible for the program to regain root
-privileges.
-.P
-Thus, a set-user-ID-root program wishing to temporarily drop root
-privileges, assume the identity of an unprivileged user, and then regain
-root privileges afterward cannot use
-.BR setuid ().
-You can accomplish this with
-.BR seteuid (2).
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, zero is returned.
-On error, \-1 is returned, and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.P
-.IR Note :
-there are cases where
-.BR setuid ()
-can fail even when the caller is UID 0;
-it is a grave security error to omit checking for a failure return from
-.BR setuid ().
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EAGAIN
-The call would change the caller's real UID (i.e.,
-.I uid
-does not match the caller's real UID),
-but there was a temporary failure allocating the
-necessary kernel data structures.
-.TP
-.B EAGAIN
-.I uid
-does not match the real user ID of the caller and this call would
-bring the number of processes belonging to the real user ID
-.I uid
-over the caller's
-.B RLIMIT_NPROC
-resource limit.
-Since Linux 3.1, this error case no longer occurs
-(but robust applications should check for this error);
-see the description of
-.B EAGAIN
-in
-.BR execve (2).
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-The user ID specified in
-.I uid
-is not valid in this user namespace.
-.TP
-.B EPERM
-The user is not privileged (Linux: does not have the
-.B CAP_SETUID
-capability in its user namespace) and
-.I uid
-does not match the real UID or saved set-user-ID of the calling process.
-.SH VERSIONS
-.SS C library/kernel differences
-At the kernel level, user IDs and group IDs are a per-thread attribute.
-However, POSIX requires that all threads in a process
-share the same credentials.
-The NPTL threading implementation handles the POSIX requirements by
-providing wrapper functions for
-the various system calls that change process UIDs and GIDs.
-These wrapper functions (including the one for
-.BR setuid ())
-employ a signal-based technique to ensure
-that when one thread changes credentials,
-all of the other threads in the process also change their credentials.
-For details, see
-.BR nptl (7).
-.SH STANDARDS
-POSIX.1-2008.
-.SH HISTORY
-POSIX.1-2001, SVr4.
-.P
-Not quite compatible with the 4.4BSD call, which
-sets all of the real, saved, and effective user IDs.
-.\" SVr4 documents an additional EINVAL error condition.
-.P
-The original Linux
-.BR setuid ()
-system call supported only 16-bit user IDs.
-Subsequently, Linux 2.4 added
-.BR setuid32 ()
-supporting 32-bit IDs.
-The glibc
-.BR setuid ()
-wrapper function transparently deals with the variation across kernel versions.
-.SH NOTES
-Linux has the concept of the filesystem user ID, normally equal to the
-effective user ID.
-The
-.BR setuid ()
-call also sets the filesystem user ID of the calling process.
-See
-.BR setfsuid (2).
-.P
-If
-.I uid
-is different from the old effective UID, the process will
-be forbidden from leaving core dumps.
