  20. .SH DESCRIPTION
  21. The
  22. \fIgeteuid\fR()
  23. function shall return the effective user ID of the calling process.
  24. The
  25. \fIgeteuid\fR()
  26. function shall not modify
  27. .IR errno .
  28. .SH "RETURN VALUE"
  29. The
  30. \fIgeteuid\fR()
  31. function shall always be successful and no return value is reserved to
  32. indicate an error.
  33. .SH ERRORS
  34. No errors are defined.

  37. .SH EXAMPLES
  38. None.
  39. .SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
  40. None.
  41. .SH RATIONALE
  42. In a conforming environment,
  43. \fIgeteuid\fR()
  44. will always succeed. It is possible for implementations to provide
  45. an extension where a process in a non-conforming environment will
  46. not be associated with a user or group ID. It is recommended that such
  47. implementations return (\c
  48. .BR uid_t )\-1
  49. and set
  50. .IR errno
  51. to indicate such an environment; doing so does not violate
  52. this standard, since such an environment is already an extension.
  53. .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
  54. None.
