<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><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><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><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><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>
</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>

<title>Notes</title>
<para>The <function>sd_pid_get_session()</function>,
<function>sd_pid_get_unit()</function>,
<function>sd_pid_get_user_unit()</function>,
<function>sd_pid_get_owner_uid()</function>,
<function>sd_pid_get_machine_name()</function> and
<function>sd_pid_get_slice()</function> interfaces are
available as shared library, which can be compiled and
linked to with the
<constant>libsystemd-login</constant> <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>
