- .SH NAME

- \(em get the process group ID of a session leader
- .SH SYNOPSIS

- #include <unistd.h>
- .P
- pid_t getsid(pid_t \fIpid\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIgetsid\fR()
- function shall obtain the process group ID of the process that is the
- session leader of the process specified by
- .IR pid .
- If
- .IR pid
- is (\fBpid_t\fR)0, it specifies the calling process.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- Upon successful completion,
- \fIgetsid\fR()
- shall return the process group ID of the session leader of the specified
- process. Otherwise, it shall return \-1 and set
- .IR errno
- to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIgetsid\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EPERM
- The process specified by
- .IR 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.
- .TP
- .BR ESRCH
- There is no process with a process ID equal to
- .IR pid .
