#include <grp.h>
int setgroups(size_t size, const gid_t *list);
getgroups()
Up to size supplementary group IDs (of the calling process) are returned in list. 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.
setgroups()
Sets the supplementary group IDs for the process. Appropriate privileges (Linux: the CAP_SETGID capability) are required.
getgroups()
On success, the number of supplementary group IDs is returned. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
setgroups()
On success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

EFAULT |
list has an invalid address. | ||
|
EINVAL |
For setgroups(), size is greater than NGROUPS (32 for Linux 2.0.32). For getgroups(), size is less than the number of supplementary group IDs, but is not zero. | ||
|
EPERM |
The calling process has insufficient privilege to call setgroups(). |
A process can
have up to at least 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 may be
changed using setgroups(). The maximum number of
supplementary group IDs can be found using
sysconf(3):
long ngroups_max;
ngroups_max = sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX);
The maximal return value of getgroups() cannot be
larger than one more than the value obtained this way.
The prototype for setgroups() is only available if _BSD_SOURCE is defined.
SVr4, 4.3BSD. The getgroups() function is in POSIX.1-2001. Since setgroups() requires privilege, it is not covered by POSIX.1-2001.
