|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/param.h
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn setgroups "int ngroups" "const gid_t *gidset"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setgroups
|
|
system call
|
|
sets the group access list of the current user process
|
|
according to the array
|
|
.Fa gidset .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa ngroups
|
|
argument
|
|
indicates the number of entries in the array and must be no
|
|
more than
|
|
.Dv {NGROUPS_MAX}+1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only the super-user may set a new group list.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first entry of the group array
|
|
.Pq Va gidset[0]
|
|
is used as the effective group-ID for the process.
|
|
This entry is over-written when a setgid program is run.
|
|
To avoid losing access to the privileges of the
|
|
.Va gidset[0]
|
|
entry, it should be duplicated later in the group array.
|
|
By convention,
|
|
this happens because the group value indicated
|
|
in the password file also appears in
|
|
.Pa /etc/group .
|
|
The group value in the password file is placed in
|
|
.Va gidset[0]
|
|
and that value then gets added a second time when the
|
|
.Pa /etc/group
|
|
file is scanned to create the group set.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std setgroups
|
|
.Sh ERRORS

|
The
|
|
.Fn setgroups

.Bl -tag -width Er

argument is larger than the
|
|
.Dv {NGROUPS_MAX}+1
|
|
limit.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT

|
|
.Fa gidset
|
|
is outside the process
|
|
address space.
