POSIX and uid_t resp. gid_t



Hi all,

I have an important question regarding security in cygwin:

How are the datatypes of uid_t and gid_t defined in POSIX?

Are they constrained to be basic datatypes like int or unsigned long
or would it be possible to define them as compound datatypes as e.g.
struct { int [6]; } or something else?

Unfortunately, I don't own a copy of the POSIX draft.

Regards,
Corinna
