NAME

       gidd_alloc - HTCondor Manual

       find a GID within the specified range which is not used by any process

SYNOPSIS

       gidd_alloc min-gid max-gid

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  will  scan the alive PIDs, looking for which GID is unused in the supplied,
       inclusive range specified by the required arguments min-gid and max-gid. Upon finding one,
       it  will  add  the  GID  to its own supplementary group list, and then scan the PIDs again
       expecting to find only itself using the GID. If no collision  has  occurred,  the  program
       exits, otherwise it retries.

GENERAL REMARKS

       This is a program only available for the Linux ports of HTCondor.

EXIT STATUS

       gidd_alloc  will  exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with
       the value 1 (one) upon failure.
