.br setregid32 (),
supporting 32-bit ids.
the glibc
.br setreuid ()
and
.br setregid ()
wrapper functions transparently deal with the variations across kernel versions.
.\"
.ss c library/kernel differences
at the kernel level, user ids and group ids are a per-thread attribute.
however, posix requires that all threads in a process
share the same credentials.
the nptl threading implementation handles the posix requirements by
providing wrapper functions for
the various system calls that change process uids and gids.
these wrapper functions (including those for
.br setreuid ()
and
.br setregid ())
employ a signal-based technique to ensure
that when one thread changes credentials,
all of the other threads in the process also change their credentials.
for details, see
.br nptl (7).
