.sh description
.br setreuid ()
sets real and effective user ids of the calling process.
.pp
supplying a value of \-1 for either the real or effective user id forces
the system to leave that id unchanged.
.pp
unprivileged processes may only set the effective user id to the real user id,
the effective user id, or the saved set-user-id.
.pp
unprivileged users may only set the real user id to
the real user id or the effective user id.
.pp
if the real user id is set (i.e.,
.i ruid
is not \-1) or the effective user id is set to a value
not equal to the previous real user id,
