Module Process::Sys
In: process.c

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.

Methods

Public Class methods

Process.egid => fixnum
Process::GID.eid => fixnum
Process::Sys.geteid => fixnum

Returns the effective group ID for this process. Not available on all platforms. 

   Process.egid   #=> 500
Process.euid => fixnum
Process::UID.eid => fixnum
Process::Sys.geteuid => fixnum

Returns the effective user ID for this process. 

   Process.euid   #=> 501
Process.gid => fixnum
Process::GID.rid => fixnum
Process::Sys.getgid => fixnum

Returns the (real) group ID for this process. 

   Process.gid   #=> 500
Process.uid => fixnum
Process::UID.rid => fixnum
Process::Sys.getuid => fixnum

Returns the (real) user ID of this process. 

   Process.uid   #=> 501
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.

Process::Sys.setegid(integer) => nil

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

Process::Sys.seteuid(integer) => nil

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

Process::Sys.setgid(integer) => nil

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

Process::Sys.setregid(rid, eid) => nil

Sets the (integer) 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.

Process::Sys.setresgid(rid, eid, sid) => nil

Sets the (integer) 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.

Process::Sys.setresuid(rid, eid, sid) => nil

Sets the (integer) 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.

Process::Sys.setreuid(rid, eid) => nil

Sets the (integer) 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.

Process::Sys.setrgid(integer) => nil

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

Process::Sys.setruid(integer) => nil

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

Process::Sys.setuid(integer) => nil

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