NAME
getlcid -- get login context
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/lctx.h> pid_t getlcid(pid_t pid);
DESCRIPTION
The login context of the process identified by pid is returned by getlcid(). If pid is zero, getlcid() returns the login context of the cur- rent process. Login contexts are used for tracking processes that originated from a users login session. A login context is inherited via fork() or by explicit creation using the setlcid() call.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, getlcid() returns a non-negative integer, the Login Context ID; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The getlcid() function will fail if: [EPERM] Operation not permitted. [ESRCH] No such process. [ENOATTR] Attribute not found.
