+.SH HISTORY
+Linux 2.1.44,
+glibc 2.3.2.
+.PP
+The original Linux
+.BR getresuid ()
+and
+.BR getresgid ()
+system calls supported only 16-bit user and group IDs.
+Subsequently, Linux 2.4 added
+.BR getresuid32 ()
+and
+.BR getresgid32 (),
+supporting 32-bit IDs.
+The glibc
+.BR getresuid ()
+and
+.BR getresgid ()
+wrapper functions transparently deal with the variations across kernel versions.
