GETGROUPS(2) Linux Programmer's Manual GETGROUPS(2) +

+ +

NAME +

getgroups, setgroups - get/set group access list + +

SYNOPSIS +

#include <unistd.h> + + int getgroups(int size, gid_t list[]); + + + #define __USE_BSD + #include <grp.h> + + int setgroups(size_t size, const gid_t *list); + +

DESCRIPTION +

getgroups + Up to size supplemental groups are returned in + list. If size is zero, list is not modified, but + the total number of supplemental groups for the + process is returned. + + setgroups + Sets the supplemental groups for the process. Only + the super-user may use this function. + +

RETURN VALUE +

getgroups + On success, the number of groups stored in list is + returned (if size is zero, however, the number of + supplemental group IDs associated with the process + 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. + +

ERRORS +

EFAULT list has an invalid address. + + EPERM For setgroups, the user is not the super-user. + + EINVAL For setgroups, gidsetsize is greater than NGROUPS + (32 for Linux 0.99.11). + +

CONFORMING TO +

getgroups conforms to POSIX.1 (and is present in BSD 4.3). + Since setgroups requires privilege, it is not covered + under POSIX.1. + +

BUGS +

The __USE_BSD flag probably shouldn't be required for set- + groups. + + + + +
