The sseettuuiidd() function sets the real and effective user IDs and the saved
set-user-ID of the current process to the specified value. The sseettuuiidd()
function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real user ID of
the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
The sseettggiidd() function sets the real and effective group IDs and the saved
set-group-ID of the current process to the specified value. The sseettggiidd()
function is permitted if the specified ID is equal to the real group ID
of the process, or if the effective user ID is that of the super user.
The sseetteeuuiidd() function (sseetteeggiidd()) sets the effective user ID (group ID)
of the current process. The effective user ID may be set to the value of
the real user ID or the saved set-user-ID (see intro(2) and execve(2));
in this way, the effective user ID of a set-user-ID executable may be
toggled by switching to the real user ID, then re-enabled by reverting to
the set-user-ID value. Similarly, the effective group ID may be set to
the value of the real group ID or the saved set-user-ID.

Upon success, these functions return 0; otherwise -1 is returned.
If the user is not the super user, or the uid specified is not the real,
effective ID, or saved ID, these functions return -1.

The sseettuuiidd() and sseettggiidd() functions are compliant with the IEEE
Std1003.1-1988 (``POSIX'') specification with _POSIX_SAVED_IDS not de-
fined. The sseetteeuuiidd() and sseetteeggiidd() functions are extensions based on the
POSIX concept of _POSIX_SAVED_IDS, and have been proposed for a future
revision of the standard.
