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(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_gid_t egid = getegid();
    return GIDT2NUM(egid);
}
             
            Returns the effective user ID for this process.
Process.euid #=> 501
 
               static VALUE
proc_geteuid(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_uid_t euid = geteuid();
    return UIDT2NUM(euid);
}
             
            Returns the (real) group ID for this process.
Process.gid #=> 500
 
               static VALUE
proc_getgid(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_gid_t gid = getgid();
    return GIDT2NUM(gid);
}
             
            Returns the (real) user ID of this process.
Process.uid #=> 501
 
               static VALUE
proc_getuid(VALUE obj)
{
    rb_uid_t uid = getuid();
    return UIDT2NUM(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.

            Set the effective group ID of the calling process to group. Not available on all platforms.

            Sets the (group) real and/or effective group IDs of the current process to
rid and eid, respectively. A value of -1 for
either means to leave that ID unchanged. Not available on all platforms.

            Sets the (group) real, effective, and saved user IDs of the current process
to rid, eid, and sid respectively. A value of
-1 for any value means to leave that ID unchanged. Not
available on all platforms.
