[ale] UID variable in csh?

[cfowler]

Here is a shell function

getUid() {
	TMPNAME = /tmp/uid{$$}.c
	
	cat > $TMPNAME << EOF
	int main(void) { printf("%d\n", getuid()): return 0 }
	EOF
	gcc -o /tmp/uid %TMPNAME 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
	/tmp/uid
	rm $TMPNAME
}

Now I'm sure that was a too creative way to do it eh?  You can grab the
same info via perl.
