explain_setresuid_or_die(3) Library Functions Manual explain_setresuid_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_setresuid_or_die - set r/e/s user ID and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/setresuid.h>
     void explain_setresuid_or_die(uid_t ruid, uid_t euid, uid_t suid);
     int explain_setresuid_on_error(uid_t ruid, uid_t euid, uid_t suid);

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

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

     ruid    The ruid, exactly as to be passed to the setresuid(2) system call.

     euid    The euid, exactly as to be passed to the setresuid(2) system call.

     suid    The suid, exactly as to be passed to the setresuid(2) system call.

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

     The  explain_setresuid_on_error function always returns the value return by
     the wrapped setresuid(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_setresuid_or_die function is intended to be used in  a  fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_setresuid_or_die(ruid, euid, suid);

     setresuid(2)
	     set real, effective and saved user ID
