NAME

6       tcgetsid - get session ID
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500        /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
10       #include <termios.h>
11
12       pid_t tcgetsid(int fd);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The  function  tcgetsid() returns the session ID of the current session
16       that has the terminal associated to fd as controlling  terminal.   This
17       terminal must be the controlling terminal of the calling process.
18

RETURN VALUE

20       When fd refers to the controlling terminal of our session, the function
21       tcgetsid() will return the session ID of this session.   Otherwise,  -1
22       is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
23

ERRORS

25       EBADF  fd is not a valid file descriptor.
26
27       ENOTTY The  calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or it
28              has one but it is not described by fd.
