Digital UNIX Diffs - getuid(5)			Digital UNIX Diffs - getuid(5)

NAME
       getuid, geteuid -  Gets the process' real or effective user ID

SYNOPSIS
       #include	 <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> uid_t getuid( void ); uid_t
       geteuid( void );

DIFFERENCES
       vms-system(5): OpenVMS Operating System Differences

       These functions return the either the real user	ID  or	the  effective
       user  ID	 for  a	 process on UNIX systems.  On VMS, these functions get
       mapped to the member number from the user  identification  code	(UIC).
       For example, if the OpenVMS UIC is [313,022], 022 is the member number.
       OpenVMS does not have the concept of an effective user ID so it returns
       the same value for both getuid and <geteuid>>.

RELATED INFORMATION
       Functions:  getuid(2), geteuid(2)
