Testing setuid()

[Stu]

Is there anyway to tell if a setuid() call has been made to some other
user?

If so, can somebody provide me with some sample code

Thanks in advance to all that answer

Not in standard C -- setuid() is not part of the standard C library.

You will need to ask in whatever newsgroup is appropriate for
the operating system extension that is providing you with setuid().

No, not portably even on all POSIX systems. I don't know if
later POSIX added such a facility, and operating systems such as
Linux might have added their own warts.

Best take this to a newsgroup that deals with POSIX or systems that have
the notion of setuid(). Standard C does not know about setuid().
