#include <unistd.h> gid_t getgid(void);Service Program Name: QSYPAPI
The getgid() function returns the real group ID (GID) of the calling thread. The real GID is the group ID under which the thread was created.
Note: When a user profile swap is done with the QWTSETP API prior to running the getgid() function, the GID for the current profile is returned.
None.
No authorization is required.
If getgid() is not successful, errno usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, errno could indicate an error other than those listed here.
