<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
-ENXIO. 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 -ENXIO (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, 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 with -ENXIO.</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 -ENXIO.</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>Similar, <function>sd_pid_get_user_slice()</function>
returns the user slice (as managed by the user's systemd instance)
of a process.</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> and
<function>sd_peer_get_user_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. 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>

<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>
