POPIS / INSTRUKCE

getgroups

Up to size supplementary group IDs (of the calling process) are returned in list. It is unspecified whether the effective group ID of the calling process is included in the returned list. (Thus, an application should also call getegid(2) and add or remove the resulting value.) If size is zero, list is not modified, but the total number of supplementary group IDs for the process is returned.

setgroups

Sets the supplementary group IDs for the process. Appropriate privileges (Linux: the CAP_SETGID capability) are required.

NÁVRATOVÁ HODNOTA

getgroups

On success, the number of supplementary group IDs is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

setgroups

On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

CHYBY / ERRORY

EFAULT

list has an invalid address.

EINVAL

For setgroups, size is greater than NGROUPS (32 for Linux 2.0.32). For getgroups, size is less than the number of supplementary group IDs, but is not zero.

EPERM

The calling process has insufficient privilege to call setgroups.

NOTES

A process can have up to at least NGROUPS_MAX supplementary group IDs in addition to the effective group ID. The set of supplementary group IDs is inherited from the parent process and may be changed using setgroups. The maximum number of supplementary group IDs can be found using sysconf(3):

    long ngroups_max;
    ngroups_max = sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX);

The maximal return value of getgroups cannot be larger than one more than the value obtained this way. The prototype for setgroups is only available if _BSD_SOURCE is defined (either explicitly, or implicitly, by not defining _POSIX_SOURCE or compiling with the -ansi flag).

ODPOVÍDAJÍCÍ

SVr4, SVID (issue 4 only; these calls were not present in SVr3), X/OPEN, 4.3BSD. The getgroups function is in POSIX.1. Since setgroups requires privilege, it is not covered by POSIX.1.
