NAME
getsid
--- get the process group ID of a session leader
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t getsid(pid_t pid);
DESCRIPTION
The
getsid()
function shall obtain the process group ID of the process that is the
session leader of the process specified by
pid.
If
pid
is (
pid_t)0, it specifies the calling process.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion,
getsid()
shall return the process group ID of the session leader of the specified
process. Otherwise, it shall return -1 and set
errno
to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The
getsid()
function shall fail if:
- EPERM
-
The process specified by
pid
is not in the same session as the calling process, and the
implementation does not allow access to the process group ID of the
session leader of that process from the calling process.
- ESRCH
-
There is no process with a process ID equal to
pid.
