       The  getegid()  function  shall  return  the  effective  group  ID of the calling process.  The getegid()
       function shall not modify errno.

       No errors are defined.

       getegid — get the effective group ID

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

       In a conforming environment, getegid() will always succeed. It is possible for implementations to provide
       an extension where a process in a non-conforming environment will not be associated with a user or  group
       ID.  It  is  recommended  that  such  implementations  return (gid_t)-1 and set errno to indicate such an
       environment; doing so does not violate this standard, since such an environment is already an extension.

       The getegid() function shall always be successful and no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
