 * Name: setreuid
 *
 * Description:
 *   The setreuid() function sets the real user ID and/or the effective user
 *   ID of the calling task group to ruid and/or euid.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   ruid - Real user identity to set.  The special value (uid_t)-1
 *          indicates that the real user ID should not be changed.
 *   ruid - Effective user identity to set.  The special value (uid_t)-1
 *          indicates that the effective user ID should not be changed.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Zero if successful and -1 in case of failure, in which case errno is set
 *   appropriately.
