tcgetsid - get session ID
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500 /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <termios.h>
pid_t tcgetsid(int fd);The function tcgetsid() returns the session ID of
the current session that has the terminal associated to fd as
controlling terminal. This terminal must be the controlling terminal of
the calling process.
When fd refers to the controlling terminal of our session,
the function tcgetsid() will return the session ID of
this session. Otherwise, -1 is returned, and errno is set to
indicate the error.
fd is not a valid file descriptor.
The calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or it has
one but it is not described by fd.
