posix_getegid
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
posix_getegid — Return the effective group ID of the current process
Description
Return the numeric effective group ID of the current process.
Parameters
This function has no parameters.
Return Values
Returns an int of the effective group ID.
Examples
Example #1 posix_getegid() example
This example will print out the effective group id, once it is changed with posix_setegid().
<?php
echo 'My real group id is '.posix_getgid(); //20
posix_setegid(40);
echo 'My real group id is '.posix_getgid(); //20
echo 'My effective group id is '.posix_getegid(); //40
?>
Notes
posix_getegid() is different than posix_getgid() because effective group ID can be changed by a calling process using posix_setegid().
