NAME
getlcid -- get login context SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/lctx.h> pid_t getlcid(pid_t pid); DESCRIPTION

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. SEE ALSO
