getsid - get session ID
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t getsid(pid_t pid
);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
getsid():
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || /* Since glibc 2.12: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
On success, a session ID is returned. On error, (pid_t) -1
will be returned, and errno
is set appropriately.
A process with process ID pid
exists, but it is not in the same session as the calling process, and the implementation considers this an error.
No process with process ID pid
was found.
This system call is available on Linux since version 2.0.
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, SVr4.
Linux does not return EPERM.
See credentials(7) for a description of sessions and session IDs.
