Hello experts

I found two functions int libc which have only quoted (from info 
file) help. Unfortunately it is very unclear to me. Could 
somebody explain me more comprehensive what they are for? And what 
means 42 returned value?
Thank you

geteuid

     		int geteuid(void);

getgid

For both Return Value is 42.
