+//! \brief Permanently drops privileges conferred by being a setuid or setgid |
+//! executable. |
+//! |
+//! The effective user ID and saved set-user ID are set to the real user ID, |
+//! negating any effects of being a setuid executable. The effective group ID |
+//! and saved set-group ID are set to the real group ID, negating any effects of |
+//! being a setgid executable. Because the saved set-user ID and saved set-group |
+//! ID are reset, there is no way to restore the prior privileges, and the drop |
+//! is permanent. |
+//! |
+//! This function drops privileges correctly when running setuid root and in |
+//! other circumstances, including when running setuid non-root. If the program |
+//! is not a setuid or setgid executable, this function has no effect. |
+//! |
+//! No changes are made to the supplementary group list, which is normally not |
+//! altered for setuid or setgid executables. |
