setgroups
Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list
Synopsis
Section titled “Synopsis”long setgroups(int gidsetsize, gid_t *grouplist);| Number (x86-64) | 116 |
| ABI | common |
| Kernel entry point | sys_setgroups |
This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.
Description
Section titled “Description”Sets the caller’s supplementary group ids. It needs privilege.
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
gidsetsize (arg0) |
int |
Number of group ids the buffer holds. |
grouplist (arg1) |
gid_t * |
Pointer to an array of group ids. |
Return value
Section titled “Return value”On success: 0.
In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.
Common errors
Section titled “Common errors”| Raw return | Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
-14 |
EFAULT |
A pointer argument points outside the accessible address space. |
-1 |
EPERM |
The operation is not permitted for this process. |
Man page
Section titled “Man page”Captured by Antinomie
Section titled “Captured by Antinomie”Coverage mark: Implemented. Every pointer argument has a capture rule in the pinned kernel patch and none of them records a “no decoder”, “address only” or “not observed” gap on any code path. Individual values can still be incomplete on a particular call; see the capture statuses.
Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Argument | When | How | Recorded field key | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
gidsetsize (arg0) |
Entry | raw scalar word | args.0, args.gidsetsize |
|
grouplist (arg1) |
Entry | the pointer itself, as a raw word | args.1, args.raw[1] |
|
| ↳ pointee | Entry | array of 4-byte group ids, count from gidsetsize (arg0), limit 65,536 entries |
arg1.data |
always |
Filter fields
Section titled “Filter fields”- Result:
ret,syscall.errno,syscall.success,syscall.duration_ns. - Argument words:
args.gidsetsize(arg0),args.grouplist(arg1);args.0toargs.5by position.
