Process.setgid - Node documentation
property Process.setgid

Usage in Deno

import { type Process } from "node:process";

The process.setgid() method sets the group identity of the process. (See setgid(2).) The id can be passed as either a numeric ID or a group name string. If a group name is specified, this method blocks while resolving the associated numeric ID.

import process from 'process';

if (process.getgid && process.setgid) {
  console.log(`Current gid: ${process.getgid()}`);
  try {
    process.setgid(501);
    console.log(`New gid: ${process.getgid()}`);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(`Failed to set gid: ${err}`);
  }
}

This function is only available on POSIX platforms (i.e. not Windows or Android). This feature is not available in Worker threads.
