The Process::Sys module contains UID
and GID functions which provide direct bindings to
the system calls of the same names instead of the more-portable versions of
the same functionality found in the Process,
Process::UID, and Process::GID modules.
Returns the effective group ID for this process. Not available on all platforms.
Process.egid #=> 500
 
               static VALUE
proc_getegid(obj)
    VALUE obj;
{
    int egid = getegid();
    return INT2FIX(egid);
}
             
            Returns the effective user ID for this process.
Process.euid #=> 501
 
               static VALUE
proc_geteuid(obj)
    VALUE obj;
{
    int euid = geteuid();
    return INT2FIX(euid);
}
             
            Returns the (real) group ID for this process.
Process.gid #=> 500
 
               static VALUE
proc_getgid(obj)
    VALUE obj;
{
    int gid = getgid();
    return INT2FIX(gid);
}
             
            Returns the (real) user ID of this process.
Process.uid #=> 501
 
               static VALUE
proc_getuid(obj)
    VALUE obj;
{
    int uid = getuid();
    return INT2FIX(uid);
}
             
            Returns true if the process was created as a result of an
execve(2) system call which had either of the setuid or setgid bits set
(and extra privileges were given as a result) or if it has changed any of
its real, effective or saved user or group IDs since it began execution.
