This is important for programs such as -.Xr su 1 -which begin setuid but need to be able to create an untainted process. -.Sh ERRORS -The -.Fn issetugid -function is always successful, and no return value is reserved to -indicate an error. -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr execve 2 , -.Xr fork 2 , -.Xr setgid 2 , -.Xr setegid 2 , -.Xr seteuid 2 , -.Xr setregid 2 , -.Xr setreuid 2 , -.Xr setuid 2 -.Sh HISTORY -A -.Fn issetugid -function call first appeared in -.Ox 2.0 -and was also implemented in -.Fx 3.0 . |
