View Ref-File5.12.22  Psetegid                                                  TOS

 Name:         »Psetegid« - Set the effective group ID for the calling 
               process.

 Opcode:       324 (0x0144)

 Syntax:       int32_t Psetegid ( int16_t egid );

 Description:  egid specifies the new effective group ID for the 
               calling process.

               Prior to MiNT version 1.12, this call contained a bug 
               affecting its functionality. Setting effective group id 
               needs root privileges.

               This call is often used by daemon processes to 
               downgrade their privileges to user level.

 Return value: Returns new egid on success or a negative GEMDOS 
               error-code otherwise.

 Availability: MiNT 1.11

 Group:        Process functions
