Digital UNIX Diffs - getgid(5) Digital UNIX Diffs - getgid(5)NAME
getgid, getegid - Gets the process group ID
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> uid_t getgid( void ); uid_t getegid( void );
DIFFERENCESvms-system(5): OpenVMS Operating System Differences
These functions return the either the real group ID or the effective
group ID for a process on UNIX systems. On VMS, these functions get
mapped to the group number from the user identification code (UIC).
For example, if the OpenVMS UIC is [313,031], 313 is the group number.
OpenVMS does not have the concept of an effective group ID so it
returns the same value for both getgid and <getegid>>.
