1. Process::
  2. Sys

module Process::Sys

TheProcess::Sys module containsUID andGID 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 theProcess,Process::UID, andProcess::GID modules.

Public Class Methods

Source
static VALUEproc_getegid(VALUE obj){    rb_gid_t egid = getegid();    return GIDT2NUM(egid);}

Returns the effective group ID for the current process:

Process.egid# => 500

Not available on all platforms.

Source
static VALUEproc_geteuid(VALUE obj){    rb_uid_t euid = geteuid();    return UIDT2NUM(euid);}

Returns the effective user ID for the current process.

Process.euid# => 501
Source
static VALUEproc_getgid(VALUE obj){    rb_gid_t gid = getgid();    return GIDT2NUM(gid);}

Returns the (real) group ID for the current process:

Process.gid# => 1000
Source
static VALUEproc_getuid(VALUE obj){    rb_uid_t uid = getuid();    return UIDT2NUM(uid);}

Returns the (real) user ID of the current process.

Process.uid# => 1000
Source
static VALUEp_sys_issetugid(VALUE obj){    return RBOOL(issetugid());}

Returnstrue 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.

Source
static VALUEp_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 togroup. Not available on all platforms.

Source
static VALUEp_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 touser. Not available on all platforms.

Source
static VALUEp_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 togroup. Not available on all platforms.

Source
static VALUEp_sys_setregid(VALUE obj, VALUE rid, VALUE eid){    rb_gid_t rgid, egid;    check_gid_switch();    rgid = OBJ2GID(rid);    egid = OBJ2GID(eid);    if (setregid(rgid, egid) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);    return Qnil;}

Sets the (group) real and/or effective group IDs of the current process torid andeid, respectively. A value of-1 for either means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

Source
static VALUEp_sys_setresgid(VALUE obj, VALUE rid, VALUE eid, VALUE sid){    rb_gid_t rgid, egid, sgid;    check_gid_switch();    rgid = OBJ2GID(rid);    egid = OBJ2GID(eid);    sgid = OBJ2GID(sid);    if (setresgid(rgid, egid, sgid) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);    return Qnil;}

Sets the (group) real, effective, and saved user IDs of the current process torid,eid, andsid respectively. A value of-1 for any value means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

Source
static VALUEp_sys_setresuid(VALUE obj, VALUE rid, VALUE eid, VALUE sid){    rb_uid_t ruid, euid, suid;    PREPARE_GETPWNAM;    check_uid_switch();    ruid = OBJ2UID1(rid);    euid = OBJ2UID1(eid);    suid = OBJ2UID1(sid);    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 torid,eid, andsid respectively. A value of-1 for any value means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

Source
static VALUEp_sys_setreuid(VALUE obj, VALUE rid, VALUE eid){    rb_uid_t ruid, euid;    PREPARE_GETPWNAM;    check_uid_switch();    ruid = OBJ2UID1(rid);    euid = OBJ2UID1(eid);    FINISH_GETPWNAM;    if (setreuid(ruid, euid) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);    return Qnil;}

Sets the (user) real and/or effective user IDs of the current process torid andeid, respectively. A value of-1 for either means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

Source
static VALUEp_sys_setrgid(VALUE obj, VALUE id){    check_gid_switch();    if (setrgid(OBJ2GID(id)) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);    return Qnil;}

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

Source
static VALUEp_sys_setruid(VALUE obj, VALUE id){    check_uid_switch();    if (setruid(OBJ2UID(id)) != 0) rb_sys_fail(0);    return Qnil;}

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