SYNOPSIS

10       #include <libexplain/setregid.h>
11       void explain_setregid_or_die(gid_t rgid, gid_t egid);
12       int explain_setregid_on_error(gid_t rgid, gid_t egid);

DESCRIPTION

15       The explain_setregid_or_die function is used to  call  the  setregid(2)
16       system  call.  On  failure  an  explanation  will be printed to stderr,
17       obtained from the explain_setregid(3) function, and  then  the  process
18       terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
19
20       The  explain_setregid_on_error function is used to call the setregid(2)
21       system call. On failure an  explanation  will  be  printed  to  stderr,
22       obtained  from  the  explain_setregid(3) function, but still returns to
23       the caller.
24
25       rgid    The rgid, exactly as to be passed  to  the  setregid(2)  system
26               call.
27
28       egid    The  egid,  exactly  as  to be passed to the setregid(2) system
29               call.

RETURN VALUE

32       The explain_setregid_or_die  function  only  returns  on  success,  see
33       setregid(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
34       exits, it does not return.
35
36       The explain_setregid_on_error function always returns the value  return
37       by the wrapped setregid(2) system call.
