Format:		%u

Users:		audit and login applications

Description:

		The /proc/$pid/loginuid pseudofile is written to set and

		read to get the audit login UID of process $pid.  If it is

		unset, permissions are not needed to set it.  The accessor must

		have CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL in the initial user namespace to write

		it if it has been set.  It cannot be written again if

		AUDIT_FEATURE_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE is enabled.  It cannot be

		unset if AUDIT_FEATURE_ONLY_UNSET_LOGINUID is enabled.
