<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_pid_get_owner_uid()</function> may be used to
determine the Unix UID (user identifier) which owns the login
session or systemd user unit of a process identified by the
specified PID. For processes which are not part of a login session
and not managed by a user manager, this function will fail with
<constant>-ENODATA</constant>.</para>
<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. Please
note the login session may be limited to a stub process or two.
User processes may instead be started from their systemd user
manager, e.g. GUI applications started using DBus activation, as
well as service processes which are shared between multiple logins
of the same user. For processes which are not part of a login
session, this function will fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>.
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. The
unit name is a short string, suitable for usage in file system
paths. For processes which are not managed by a user manager, this
function will fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>. 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. For processes not being part of a systemd system
unit, this function will fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>.
(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_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 container, this
function fails with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>.</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_owner_uid()</function>,
<function>sd_peer_get_session()</function>,
<function>sd_peer_get_user_unit()</function>,
<function>sd_peer_get_unit()</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>

<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>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
