+.SH NAME
+setgid \- set-group-ID
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <unistd.h>
+.br
+.sp
+int setgid(gid_t\fP \fIgid\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+If the process has appropriate privileges, \fIsetgid\fP() shall set
+the real group ID, effective group ID, and the saved
+set-group-ID of the calling process to \fIgid\fP.
+.LP
+If the process does not have appropriate privileges, but \fIgid\fP
+is equal to the real group ID or the saved set-group-ID,
+\fIsetgid\fP() shall set the effective group ID to \fIgid\fP; the
+real group ID and saved set-group-ID shall remain
+unchanged.
+.LP
+The \fIsetgid\fP() function shall not affect the supplementary group
+list in any way.
+.LP
+Any supplementary group IDs of the calling process shall remain unchanged.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 shall be
+returned and \fIerrno\fP set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIsetgid\fP() function shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EINVAL
+The value of the \fIgid\fP argument is invalid and is not supported
+by the implementation.
+.TP 7
+.B EPERM
+The process does not have appropriate privileges and \fIgid\fP does
+not match the real group ID or the saved
+set-group-ID.
