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.

Process::Sys.issetugid → true or false Show source

static VALUE
p_sys_issetugid(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_secure(2);
    if (issetugid()) {
        return Qtrue;
    }
    else {
        return Qfalse;
    }
}

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(group) → nil Show source

static VALUE
p_sys_setegid(VALUE obj, VALUE id)
{
    check_gid_switch();
    if (setegid(OBJ2GID(id)) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}

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

Process::Sys.seteuid(user) → nil Show source

static VALUE
p_sys_seteuid(VALUE obj, VALUE id)
{
    check_uid_switch();
    if (seteuid(OBJ2UID(id)) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}

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

Process::Sys.setgid(group) → nil Show source

static VALUE
p_sys_setgid(VALUE obj, VALUE id)
{
    check_gid_switch();
    if (setgid(OBJ2GID(id)) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}

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

Process::Sys.setregid(rid, eid) → nil Show source

static VALUE

    FINISH_GETGRNAM;
    if (setregid(rgid, egid) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}

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.

    return Qnil;
}

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.

Process::Sys.setresuid(rid, eid, sid) → nil Show source

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

    FINISH_GETPWNAM;
    if (setresuid(ruid, euid, suid) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}

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.

    if (setreuid(ruid, euid) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);
    return Qnil;
}

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.
