+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In unistd.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn getresgid "gid_t *rgid" "gid_t *egid" "gid_t *sgid"
+.Ft int

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn setresuid
+system call sets the real,
+effective and saved user IDs of the current process.
+The analogous
+.Fn setresgid
+sets the real, effective and saved group IDs.
+.Pp
+Privileged processes may set these IDs
+to arbitrary values.
+Unprivileged processes are restricted
+in that each of the new IDs must match one of the current IDs.
+.Pp
+Passing -1 as an argument causes the corresponding value
+to remain unchanged.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getresgid
+and
+.Fn getresuid
+calls retrieve the real, effective, and saved group and user IDs of
+the current process, respectively.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The calling process was not privileged
+and tried to change one or more IDs to a value
+which was not the current real ID, the current effective ID
+nor the current saved ID.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+An address passed to
+.Fn getresgid
+or
+.Fn getresuid
+was invalid.
