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

NAME
setup - setup devices and file systems, mount root file system SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int setup(void); DESCRIPTION
setup() is called once from within linux/init/main.c. It calls initialization functions for devices and file systems configured into the kernel and then mounts the root file system. No user process may call setup(). Any user process, even a process with superuser permission, will receive EPERM. RETURN VALUE
setup() always returns -1 for a user process. ERRORS
EPERM Always, for a user process. VERSIONS
Since Linux 2.1.121, no such function exists anymore. CONFORMING TO
This function is Linux-specific, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable, or indeed in any programs at all. NOTES
The calling sequence varied: at some times setup () has had a single argument void *BIOS and at other times a single argument int magic. COLOPHON

NAME
getsid - get session ID SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> pid_t getsid(pid_t pid); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): getsid(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || /* Since glibc 2.12: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L 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. VERSIONS
This system call is available on Linux since version 2.0. CONFORMING TO
SVr4, POSIX.1-2001. NOTES
Linux does not return EPERM. SEE ALSO
