FUNCTION::EUID(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet function::euid — the little tapset function that hands you the effective uid of a target process. that's it. that's the whole gig. 💅

it lives in the SystemTap Tapset Reference, manual section 3stap, so you know it's part of the tapset crew. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

euid:long()

it takes nothing, it returns a long, she's low maintenance like that 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• None — literally nothing. no args, no parameters, no "wait what do i pass in". she simply does not require your input. iconic behavior honestly ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns the effective user ID of the target process. 👑

that's the euid, not the real uid — the one that actually decides what the process is allowed to do, permission-wise. so if you're in a probe and you need to know what user the process is effectively running as, this is your girl. no cap. 🔥

reminder: effective ≠ real. don't go confusing them, bestie, they are two different slay-codes. 😭
