GETOID(2)                       Domain/OS BSD                        GETOID(2)



NAME
     getoid, geteoid - get organization identity

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>

     oid = getoid()
     oid_t oid;

     eoid = geteoid()
     oid_t eoid;

DESCRIPTION
     getoid returns the real organization ID of the current process.  geteoid
     returns the effective organization ID.

     The real organization ID identifies the organization to which the person
     who is logged in belongs.  The effective organization ID gives the
     process additional permissions during execution of "set-org-ID" mode
     processes, which use getoid to determine the real organization ID of the
     process that invoked them.
