+/* NAME
+/* unsafe 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* are we running at non-user privileges
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include <safe.h>
+/*
+/* int unsafe()
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* The \fBunsafe()\fR routine attempts to determine if the process
+/* (runs with privileges or has access to information) that the
+/* controlling user has no access to. The purpose is to prevent
+/* misuse of privileges, including access to protected information.
+/*
+/* The result is always false when both of the following conditions
+/* are true:
+/* .IP \(bu
+/* The real UID is zero.
+/* .IP \(bu
+/* The effective UID is zero.
+/* .PP
+/* Otherwise, the result is true if any of the following conditions
+/* is true:
+/* .IP \(bu
+/* The issetuid kernel flag is non-zero (on systems that support
+/* this concept).
+/* .IP \(bu
+/* The real and effective user id differ.
+/* .IP \(bu
+/* The real and effective group id differ.
