<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 and user processes that are shared
between multiple sessions of the same user). For
processes not being part of a login session this
function will fail. The returned string needs to be
freed with the libc
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
call after use.</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>
</refsect1>
<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>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Notes</title>
<para>The <function>sd_pid_get_session()</function>
and <function>sd_pid_get_owner_uid()</function>
interfaces are available as shared library, which can
be compiled and linked to with the
<literal>libsystemd-login</literal>
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para>
<para>Note that the login session identifier as
returned by <function>sd_pid_get_session()</function>
is completely unrelated to the process session
identifier as returned by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>getsid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
