NAMEsetegid — set the effective group ID

SYNOPSIS#include <unistd.h> int setegid(gid_t gid);

DESCRIPTIONIf gid is equal to the real group ID or the saved set-group-ID, or if the process has appropriate privileges, setegid() shall set the effective group ID of the calling process to gid; the real group ID, saved set-group-ID, and any supplementary group IDs shall remain unchanged. The setegid() function shall not affect the supplementary group list in any way.

RETURN VALUEUpon successful completion, 0 shall be returned; otherwise, −1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.

ERRORSThe setegid() function shall fail if: EINVAL  The value of the gid argument is invalid and is not supported by the implementation.
