+.Dt SETREUID 2
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm setreuid
+.Nd set real and effective user ID's
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In unistd.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn setreuid "uid_t ruid" "uid_t euid"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Bf -symbolic
+This interface is made obsolete by the saved ID functionality in
+.Xr setuid 2
+and
+.Xr seteuid 2 .
+.Ef
+.Pp
+The real and effective user ID's of the
+current process are set according to the arguments.
+If the real user ID is changed, the saved user ID is changed to the new
+value of the effective user ID.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa ruid
+or
+.Fa euid
+is \-1, the current uid is filled in by the system.
+Unprivileged users may change the real user
+ID to the effective user ID, and may change the effective user ID to the
+real user ID or the saved user ID; only the super-user may
+make other changes.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn setreuid
+function has been used to swap the real and effective user
+IDs in set-user-ID programs to temporarily relinquish the set-user-ID
+value.
+This purpose is now better served by the use of the
+.Fn seteuid
+function (see
+.Xr setuid 2 ) .
+.Pp
+When setting the real and effective user IDs to the same value, this
+function is equivalent to the
+.Fn setuid
+function.
+When setting only the effective user ID, this function is equivalent to
+the
+.Fn seteuid
+function.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
+Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The current process is not the super-user and a change
+other than changing the effective user-id to the real user-id
+was specified.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn setreuid
+function call appeared in
+.Bx 4.2 .
+An incompatible version was implemented in
+.Bx 4.4 .
+It was reimplemented in
+.Nx 1.2
+in a way compatible with
+.Bx 4.3 ,
+SunOS and Linux, but should not be used in new code.
