If given an argument of type 'function', it returns the euid of the object that created that 'function' variable. If the object, at the time of the function variable's construction, had no euid, the object's uid is stored instead. <p> See also: <A HREF=seteuid.html> seteuid </A>, <A HREF=getuid.html> getuid </A>, <A HREF=export_uid.html> export_uid </A>, <A HREF=../../applies/master/valid_seteuid.html> valid_seteuid </A> <p> <HR> <ADDRESS> <A HREF=http://wagner.princeton.edu/~tim> Tim Hollebeek </A> <p> <A HREF="http://www.imaginary.com/~beek/"> Beek </A>@ZorkMUD, Lima Bean, IdeaExchange, TMI-2, and elsewhere </ADDRESS>
