-.Dt SETREGID 2
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm setregid
-.Nd set real and effective group ID
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libc
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In unistd.h
-.Ft int
-.Fn setregid "gid_t rgid" "gid_t egid"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The real and effective group ID's of the current process
-are set to the arguments.
-If the real group ID is changed, the saved group ID is changed to the
-new value of the effective group ID.
-.Pp
-Unprivileged users may change the real group
-ID to the effective group ID and vice-versa; only the super-user may
-make other changes.
-.Pp
-Supplying a value of -1 for either the real or effective
-group ID forces the system to substitute the current
-ID in place of the -1 argument.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn setregid
-system call was intended to allow swapping
-the real and effective group IDs
-in set-group-ID programs to temporarily relinquish the set-group-ID value.
-This system call did not work correctly,
-and its purpose is now better served by the use of the
-.Xr setegid 2
-system call.
-.Pp
-When setting the real and effective group IDs to the same value,
-the standard
-.Fn setgid
-system call is preferred.
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-.Rv -std setregid
-.Sh ERRORS
-.Bl -tag -width Er
-.It Bq Er EPERM
-The current process is not the super-user and a change
-other than changing the effective group-id to the real group-id
-was specified.

-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Fn setregid
-system call appeared in
-.Bx 4.2 .
