15 The getsid() function obtains the process group ID of the process that
16 is the session leader of the process specified by pid. If pid is
17 (pid_t)0, it specifies the calling process.
18
20 Upon successful completion, getsid() returns the process group ID of
21 the session leader of the specified process. Otherwise, it returns
22 (pid_t)−1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
23
25 The getsid() function will fail if:
26
27 EPERM The process specified by pid is not in the same session as the
28 calling process, and the implementation does not allow access
29 to the process group ID of the session leader of that process
30 from the calling process.
31
32
33 ESRCH There is no process with a process ID equal to pid.
