Hi,
I've written a programme that serves port 80, which usually
requires root access. Therefore, after acquiring the socket
I want to relinquish root by setting the uid to nonzero.
I needed to add "int setuid(uid_t uid);" to linux.d and
recompile Phobos in order to do so.
I there a specific reason that setuid (and the related
commands setgid, getuid, geteuid, getgid and getegid)
is/are missing in the standard version of linux.d?
Regards, Frank
You are not required to modify phobos to prototype a C function, just do
this:
extern(C) int setuid(uid_t uid);
to your file that calls the function, and you are good to go.
As to why it was omitted, I'm unsure.
