setupgroups \- set access group vector for invoker
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B setupgroups(name, gid)

.SH DESCRIPTION
This library routine sets up the invoker's access group vector
by searching the
.I /etc/group
file for groups matching
.IR name .
The invokers real group ID should be passed in
.IR gid ,
as there is no need to load this into the vector.

.I Setgroups
returns 0 for success, or \-1 on error with
.I errno
set appropriately.

This routine is safe to use on systems
where the multiple access groups system calls have not been installed.
