+ <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. 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) 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. (More specifically:
+ this call will not work for processes that are part of user units,
+ use <function>sd_pid_get_user_unit()</function> for that.) 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) 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 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, where
+ <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.</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.</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>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> and
+ <function>sd_peer_get_slice()</function> calls operate similar to
+ their PID counterparts, but operate on a connected AF_UNIX socket
+ and retrieve information about the connected peer process.</para>

+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
+ failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error
+ code.</para>
