SYNOPSIS

int seteuid(string str)

DESCRIPTION

Set effective uid to str. The calling object must be privileged to do so by the master object. In most installations it can always be set to the current uid of the object, to the uid of the creator of the object file, or to 0.

When this value is 0, the current object's uid can be changed by export_uid(), and only then.

Objects with euid 0 cannot load or clone other objects.

HISTORY

Since 3.2.1@47, this efun is availabe only when using euids.
