+.Ft int
+.Fn setloginclass "const char *name"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn getloginclass
+routine returns the login class name associated with the calling process,
+as previously set by
+.Fn setloginclass .
+The caller must provide the buffer
+.Fa name
+with length
+.Fa len
+bytes to hold the result.
+The buffer should be at least
+.Dv MAXLOGNAME
+bytes in length.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn setloginclass
+system call sets the login class of the calling process to
+.Fa name .
+This system call is restricted to the super-user, and is normally used
+only when a new session is being created on behalf of the named user
+(for example, at login time, or when a remote shell is invoked).
+Processes inherit login class from their parents.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std

+Login class names are limited to
+.Dv MAXLOGNAME
+(from
