<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>getgid</b>()
returns the real group ID of the calling process.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>getegid</b>()
returns the effective group ID of the calling process.</p>
<h2>ERRORS
<a name="ERRORS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">These functions
are always successful.</p>
<h2>CONFORMING TO
<a name="CONFORMING TO"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">POSIX.1-2001,
POSIX.1-2008, 4.3BSD.</p>
<h2>NOTES
<a name="NOTES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The original
Linux <b>getgid</b>() and <b>getegid</b>() system calls
supported only 16-bit group IDs. Subsequently, Linux 2.4
added <b>getgid32</b>() and <b>getegid32</b>(), supporting
32-bit IDs. The glibc <b>getgid</b>() and <b>getegid</b>()
wrapper functions transparently deal with the variations
across kernel versions.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">On Alpha,
instead of a pair of <b>getgid</b>() and <b>getegid</b>()
system calls, a single <b>getxgid</b>() system call is
provided, which returns a pair of real and effective GIDs.
The glibc <b>getgid</b>() and <b>getegid</b>() wrapper
functions transparently deal with this. See
<b>syscall</b>(2) for details regarding register
mapping.</p>
