NAME

     getsid -- get process session

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <unistd.h>

     pid_t
     getsid(pid_t pid);

DESCRIPTION

     The session ID of the process identified by pid is returned by getsid().  If pid is zero, getsid() returns the session ID of the current
     process.

RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, the function getsid() returns the session ID of the specified process; otherwise, it returns a value of -1 and
     sets errno to indicate an error.

ERRORS

     The getsid() system call will fail if:

     [ESRCH]		There is no process with a process ID equal to pid.

     Note that an implementation may restrict this function call to processes within the same session ID as the calling process.
