| effective group ID | Every process has an effective group ID that is used to determine file access permissions. A process\'s effective group ID is determined by the file (command) that process is executing. If that file\'s set-group-ID bit is set (located in the mode of the file, see mode), the process\'s effective group ID is set equal to the file\'s group ID. This makes the process appear to belong to the file\'s group, perhaps enabling the process to access files that must be accessed in order for the program to execute successfully. If the file\'s set-group-ID bit is not set, the process\'s effective group ID is inherited from the process\'s parent. The setting of the process\'s effective group ID lasts only as long as the program is being executed, after which the process\'s effective group ID is set equal to its real group ID. See group, real group ID, and set-group-ID bit. | የቡድን ፈቃድ መለያ |
| effective user ID | A process has an effective user ID that is used to determine file access permissions (and other permissions with respect to system calls, if the effective user ID is 0, which means superuser). A process\'s effective user ID is determined by the file (command) that process is executing. If that file\'s set-user-ID bit is set (located in the mode of the file, see mode), the process\'s effective user ID is set equal to the file\'s user ID. This makes the process appear to be the file\'s owner, enabling the process to access files which must be accessed in order for the program to execute successfully. (Many HP-UX commands which are owned by root, such as mkdir and mail, have their set-user-ID bit set so other users can execute these commands.) If the file\'s set-user-ID bit is not set, the process\'s effective user ID is inherited from that process\'s parent. See real user ID and set-user-ID bit. | የልዩ ተጠቃሚ መታወቂያ |
