+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH NAME
+geteuid
+\(em get the effective user ID
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <unistd.h>
+.P
+uid_t geteuid(void);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIgeteuid\fR()
+function shall return the effective user ID of the calling process.
+The
+\fIgeteuid\fR()
+function shall not modify
+.IR errno .
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fIgeteuid\fR()
+function shall always be successful and no return value is reserved to
+indicate an error.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+In a conforming environment,
+\fIgeteuid\fR()
+will always succeed. It is possible for implementations to provide
+an extension where a process in a non-conforming environment will
+not be associated with a user or group ID. It is recommended that such
+implementations return (\c
+.BR uid_t )\-1
+and set
+.IR errno
+to indicate such an environment; doing so does not violate
+this standard, since such an environment is already an extension.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
