    NAME

    getgroups, setgroups - get/set list of supplementary group IDs
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <unistd.h>

    int getgroups(int size, gid_t list[]);

    #include <grp.h>

    int setgroups(size_t size, const gid_t *list);

    Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

    setgroups(): _BSD_SOURCE  

    DESCRIPTION

    getgroups() returns the supplementary group IDs of the calling process in list. The argument size should be set to the maximum number of items that can be stored in the buffer pointed to by list. If the calling process is a member of more than size supplementary groups, then an error results. It is unspecified whether the effective group ID of the calling process is included in the returned list. (Thus, an application should also call getegid(2) and add or remove the resulting value.)

    If size is zero, list is not modified, but the total number of supplementary group IDs for the process is returned. This allows the caller to determine the size of a dynamically allocated list to be used in a further call to getgroups().

    setgroups() sets the supplementary group IDs for the calling process. Appropriate privileges (Linux: the CAP_SETGID capability) are required. The size argument specifies the number of supplementary group IDs in the buffer pointed to by list.  

    RETURN VALUE

    On success, getgroups() returns the number of supplementary group IDs. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

    On success, setgroups() returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.  

    ERRORS

    EFAULT
    list has an invalid address.

    getgroups() can additionally fail with the following error:

    EINVAL
    size is less than the number of supplementary group IDs, but is not zero.

    setgroups() can additionally fail with the following errors:

    EINVAL
    size is greater than NGROUPS_MAX (32 before Linux 2.6.4; 65536 since Linux 2.6.4).
    ENOMEM
    Out of memory.
    EPERM
    The calling process has insufficient privilege.
     

    CONFORMING TO

    SVr4, 4.3BSD. The getgroups() function is in POSIX.1-2001. Since setgroups() requires privilege, it is not covered by POSIX.1-2001.  

    NOTES

    A process can have up to NGROUPS_MAX supplementary group IDs in addition to the effective group ID. The set of supplementary group IDs is inherited from the parent process, and preserved across an execve(2).

    The maximum number of supplementary group IDs can be found using sysconf(3):

    
        long ngroups_max;
        ngroups_max = sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX);
    
    
    The maximum return value of getgroups() cannot be larger than one more than this value.
