FUNCTION::EGID(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the function::egid page from the 3stap manual 💖 this one does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly:

• function::egid — returns the effective gid of a target process 🎀

that's it. that's the whole vibe. short king behavior, no cap 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

egid:long()

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

None 💀

like literally none. zero. she takes no arguments, she needs no arguments, she simply arrives ✨

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this function returns the effective gid of a target process. that's the effective group ID, bestie — the gid the kernel actually uses when it's checking what your process is allowed to do 🫶

not the real gid, the effective one. the one that's main character energy in permission checks. she's a long, she's a function, and she is lowkey iconic for how unbothered she is 😌

call her, get your number, periodt 🌈
