+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.
