The

system call returns the real group ID of the calling process,
.Fn getegid
returns the effective group ID of the calling process.

The real group ID is the group of the user who invoked the program.

mode processes,
.Fn getgid
is used to determine the real-user-id of the calling process.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn getgid
and
.Fn getegid
system calls are always successful, and no return value is reserved to
indicate an error.

.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn getgid
and
.Fn getegid
system calls are expected to conform to
