<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
The <command>newgidmap</command> sets <filename>/proc/[pid]/gid_map</filename>
based on its command line arguments and the gids allowed. Subgid
delegation can either be managed via <filename>/etc/subgid</filename>
or through the configured NSS subid module. These options are mutually
exclusive.
</para>
<para>
Note that the root group is not exempted from the requirement for a valid
<filename>/etc/subgid</filename> entry.
</para>
<para>
After the pid argument, <command>newgidmap</command> expects sets of 3 integers:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>gid</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Beginning of the range of GIDs inside the user namespace.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>lowergid</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Beginning of the range of GIDs outside the user namespace.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>count</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Length of the ranges (both inside and outside the user namespace).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
<para>
<command>newgidmap</command> verifies that the caller is the owner
of the process indicated by <option>pid</option> and that for each
of the above sets, each of the GIDs in the range [lowergid,
lowergid+count) is allowed to the caller according to
<filename>/etc/subgid</filename> before setting
<filename>/proc/[pid]/gid_map</filename>.
</para>
<para>
Note that newgidmap may be used only once for a given process.
