FUNCTION::NS_EGID(3stap)

✨ FUNCTION::NS_EGID ✨

okay bestie, this one lives in the Context Functions chapter of the SystemTap tapset manual (yes, the 3stap girlies 🎀), and honestly? it's a whole little vibe.

💖 NAME 💖

function::ns_egid — bestie, this returns the effective gid of a target process as seen in a user namespace 🌸

ns_egid:long()

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea ☕ — this function hands you back the effective gid of a target process, as seen in the target user namespace if one was provided. and if nobody handed her a namespace? she falls back to the stap process namespace, no cap. 🌈

like she's literally the "which group am I actually in over there" queen and she's not gonna make you pass her a single argument for it. iconic.
