View Ref-File5.12.23  Pseteuid                                                  TOS

 Name:         »Pseteuid« - Sets the effective user ID for the calling 
               process.

 Opcode:       323 (0x0143)

 Syntax:       int32_t Pseteuid ( int16_t euid );

 Description:  euid specifies the new effective user ID for the 
               calling process.

               Prior to MiNT version 1.12 this call contained a bug 
               affecting its functionality. Setting effective user ID 
               needs root privileges.

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

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

 Availability: As of MiNT 1.11.

 Group:        Process functions
