module Process::Sys

The Process::Sys module contains UID and GID functions which provide direct bindings to the system calls of the same names instead of the more-portable versions of the same functionality found in the Process, Process::UID, and Process::GID modules.

Public Class Methods

egid → integer
Process::GID.eid → integer
Process::Sys.geteid → integer

Returns the effective group ID for the current process:

Process.egid # => 500

Not available on all platforms.

static VALUE
proc_getegid(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_gid_t egid = getegid();

    return GIDT2NUM(egid);
}
euid → integer
Process::UID.eid → integer
Process::Sys.geteuid → integer

Returns the effective user ID for the current process.

Process.euid # => 501

static VALUE
proc_geteuid(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_uid_t euid = geteuid();
    return UIDT2NUM(euid);
}
gid → integer
Process::GID.rid → integer
Process::Sys.getgid → integer

Returns the (real) group ID for the current process:

Process.gid # => 1000

static VALUE
proc_getgid(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_gid_t gid = getgid();
    return GIDT2NUM(gid);
}
uid → integer
Process::UID.rid → integer
Process::Sys.getuid → integer

Returns the (real) user ID of the current process.

Process.uid # => 1000

static VALUE
proc_getuid(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_uid_t uid = getuid();
    return UIDT2NUM(uid);
}
Process::Sys.issetugid → true or false

Returns true if the process was created as a result of an execve(2) system call which had either of the setuid or setgid bits set (and extra privileges were given as a result) or if it has changed any of its real, effective or saved user or group IDs since it began execution.

static VALUE
p_sys_issetugid(VALUE obj)
{
    return RBOOL(issetugid());
}
Process::Sys.setegid(group) → nil

Set the effective group ID of the calling process to group. Not available on all platforms.

static VALUE
p_sys_setegid(VALUE obj, VALUE id)
{
    check_gid_switch();
    if (setegid(OBJ2GID(id)) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}
Process::Sys.seteuid(user) → nil

Set the effective user ID of the calling process to user. Not available on all platforms.

static VALUE
p_sys_seteuid(VALUE obj, VALUE id)
{
    check_uid_switch();
    if (seteuid(OBJ2UID(id)) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}
Process::Sys.setgid(group) → nil

Set the group ID of the current process to group. Not available on all platforms.

static VALUE
p_sys_setgid(VALUE obj, VALUE id)
{
    check_gid_switch();
    if (setgid(OBJ2GID(id)) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}
Process::Sys.setregid(rid, eid) → nil

Sets the (group) real and/or effective group IDs of the current process to rid and eid, respectively. A value of -1 for either means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

static VALUE
p_sys_setregid(VALUE obj, VALUE rid, VALUE eid)
{
    rb_gid_t rgid, egid;
    check_gid_switch();

    return Qnil;
}
Process::Sys.setresgid(rid, eid, sid) → nil

Sets the (group) real, effective, and saved user IDs of the current process to rid, eid, and sid respectively. A value of -1 for any value means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

static VALUE
p_sys_setresgid(VALUE obj, VALUE rid, VALUE eid, VALUE sid)
{
    rb_gid_t rgid, egid, sgid;
    check_gid_switch();
    rgid = OBJ2GID(rid);
    egid = OBJ2GID(eid);
    sgid = OBJ2GID(sid);
    if (setresgid(rgid, egid, sgid) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}
Process::Sys.setresuid(rid, eid, sid) → nil

Sets the (user) real, effective, and saved user IDs of the current process to rid, eid, and sid respectively. A value of -1 for any value means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

static VALUE
p_sys_setresuid(VALUE obj, VALUE rid, VALUE eid, VALUE sid)
{
    rb_uid_t ruid, euid, suid;
    PREPARE_GETPWNAM;

    if (setresuid(ruid, euid, suid) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}
Process::Sys.setreuid(rid, eid) → nil

Sets the (user) real and/or effective user IDs of the current process to rid and eid, respectively. A value of -1 for either means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

static VALUE
