GETSID(2)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 GETSID(2)



 

NAME


       getsid - get session ID

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 

       pid_t getsid(pid_t pid);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       getsid(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500

 

DESCRIPTION






       getsid(0)  returns  the  session  ID of the calling process.  getsid(p)
       returns the session ID of the process with process ID p.  (The  session
       ID of a process is the process group ID of the session leader.)

 

RETURN VALUE


       On  success,  a  session  ID is returned.  On error, (pid_t) -1 will be
       returned, and errno is set appropriately.

 

ERRORS


       EPERM  A process with process ID p exists, but it is not  in  the  same
              session as the calling process, and the implementation considers
              this an error.

       ESRCH  No process with process ID p was found.

 

CONFORMING TO


       SVr4, POSIX.1-2001.

 

NOTES


       Linux does not return EPERM.

       Linux has this system call since Linux 1.3.44.  There is  libc  support
       since libc 5.2.19.
