NAME
       getsid - get session ID

SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>

       pid_t getsid(pid_t pid);

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.)  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 current process, and the implementation considers
	      this an error.

       ESRCH  No process with process ID p was found.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES
       Linux does not return EPERM.

       Linux has this system call since Linux 1.3.44.  There is	 libc  support
       since libc 5.2.19.

       To  get	the  prototype	under  glibc,  define  both  _XOPEN_SOURCE and
       _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED, or use "#define _XOPEN_SOURCE n" for some inte‐
       ger n larger than or equal to 500.
