NAME
     setgroups - set group access list

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/param.h>

     setgroups(ngroups, gidset)
     int ngroups, *gidset;

DESCRIPTION
     Setgroups sets the group access list of the current user
     process according to the array gidset.  The parameter
     ngroups indicates the number of entries in the array and
     must be no more than NGROUPS, as defined in <sys/param.h>.

     Only the super-user may set new groups.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The setgroups call will fail if:

     [EPERM]      The caller is not the super-user.

     [EFAULT]     The address specified for gidset is outside the
                  process address space.

     [EINVAL]     Ngroups is too large a value.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
     Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to
     indicate the error.
