- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><function>sd_pid_get_session()</function> may be used to
- determine the login session identifier of a process identified by
- the specified process identifier. The session identifier is a
- short string, suitable for usage in file system paths. Note that
- not all processes are part of a login session (e.g. system service
- processes, user processes that are shared between multiple
- sessions of the same user, or kernel threads). For processes not
- being part of a login session, this function will fail with
- -ENODATA. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc
- <citerefentry
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- call after use.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_pid_get_unit()</function> may be used to
- determine the systemd system unit (i.e. system service or scope
- unit) identifier of a process identified by the specified PID. The
- unit name is a short string, suitable for usage in file system
- paths. Note that not all processes are part of a system
- unit/service (e.g. user processes, or kernel threads). For
- processes not being part of a systemd system unit, this function
- will fail with -ENODATA. (More specifically, this call will not
- work for kernel threads.) The returned string needs to be freed
- with the libc <citerefentry
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- call after use.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_pid_get_user_unit()</function> may be used to
- determine the systemd user unit (i.e. user service or scope unit)
- identifier of a process identified by the specified PID. This is
- similar to <function>sd_pid_get_unit()</function>, but applies to
- user units instead of system units.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_pid_get_owner_uid()</function> may be used to
- determine the Unix UID (user identifier) of the owner of the
- session of a process identified the specified PID. Note that this
- function will succeed for user processes which are shared between
- multiple login sessions of the same user, whereas
- <function>sd_pid_get_session()</function> will fail. For processes
- not being part of a login session and not being a shared process
- of a user, this function will fail with -ENODATA.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_pid_get_machine_name()</function> may be used
- to determine the name of the VM or container is a member of. The
- machine name is a short string, suitable for usage in file system
- paths. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc
- <citerefentry
- project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- call after use. For processes not part of a VM or containers, this
- function fails with -ENODATA.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_pid_get_slice()</function> may be used to
- determine the slice unit the process is a member of. See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for details about slices. The returned string needs to be freed
- with the libc
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- call after use.</para>
-
- <para>Similarly, <function>sd_pid_get_user_slice()</function>
- returns the user slice (as managed by the user's systemd instance)
- of a process.</para>
-
- <para><function>sd_pid_get_cgroup()</function> returns the control
- group path of the specified process, relative to the root of the
- hierarchy. Returns the path without trailing slash, except for
- processes located in the root control group, where "/" is
- returned. To find the actual control group path in the file system,
- the returned path needs to be prefixed with
- <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/</filename> (if the unified control group
- setup is used), or
- <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/<replaceable>HIERARCHY</replaceable>/</filename>
- (if the legacy multi-hierarchy control group setup is used).</para>
-
- <para>If the <varname>pid</varname> parameter of any of these
- functions is passed as 0, the operation is executed for the
- calling process.</para>

- <para>The <function>sd_peer_get_session()</function>,
- <function>sd_peer_get_unit()</function>,
- <function>sd_peer_get_user_unit()</function>,
- <function>sd_peer_get_owner_uid()</function>,
- <function>sd_peer_get_machine_name()</function>,
- <function>sd_peer_get_slice()</function>,
- <function>sd_peer_get_user_slice()</function> and
- <function>sd_peer_get_cgroup()</function> calls operate similar to
- their PID counterparts, but operate on a connected AF_UNIX socket
- and retrieve information about the connected peer process. Note
- that these fields are retrieved via <filename>/proc</filename>,
- and hence are not suitable for authorization purposes, as they are
- subject to races.</para>
