explain_setresgid_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_setresgid_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_setresgid_or_die - set r/e/s group ID and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/setresgid.h>
     void explain_setresgid_or_die(gid_t rgid, gid_t egid, gid_t sgid);
     int explain_setresgid_on_error(gid_t rgid, gid_t egid, gid_t sgid);

DESCRIPTION
     The explain_setresgid_or_die function is used to call the setresgid(2) sys-
     tem  call.  On  failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
     from the explain_setresgid(3) function, and then the process terminates  by
     calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The  explain_setresgid_on_error  function	is used to call the setresgid(2)
     system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,	obtained
     from the explain_setresgid(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     rgid    The rgid, exactly as to be passed to the setresgid(2) system call.

     egid    The egid, exactly as to be passed to the setresgid(2) system call.

     sgid    The sgid, exactly as to be passed to the setresgid(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The  explain_setresgid_or_die function only returns on success, see setres-
     gid(2) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation  and  exits,
     it does not return.

     The  explain_setresgid_on_error function always returns the value return by
     the wrapped setresgid(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_setresgid_or_die function is intended to be used in  a  fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_setresgid_or_die(rgid, egid, sgid);

SEE ALSO
     setresgid(2)
	     set real, effective and saved group ID

     explain_setresgid(3)
