DESCRIPTIONsd_pid_get_owner_uid() 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 −ENODATA. sd_pid_get_session() 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 −ENODATA. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc free(3) call after use. sd_pid_get_user_unit() 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 −ENODATA. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc free(3) call after use. sd_pid_get_unit() 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 −ENODATA. (More specifically, this call will not work for kernel threads.) The returned string needs to be freed with the libc free(3) call after use. sd_pid_get_machine_name() 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 free(3) call after use. For processes not part of a VM or container, this function fails with −ENODATA. sd_pid_get_slice() may be used to determine the slice unit the process is a member of. See systemd.slice(5) for details about slices. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc free(3) call after use. Similarly, sd_pid_get_user_slice() returns the user slice (as managed by the user's systemd instance) of a process. sd_pid_get_cgroup() 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 /sys/fs/cgroup/ (if the unified control group setup is used), or /sys/fs/cgroup/HIERARCHY/ (if the legacy multi−hierarchy control group setup is used). If the pid parameter of any of these functions is passed as 0, the operation is executed for the calling process. The sd_peer_get_owner_uid(), sd_peer_get_session(), sd_peer_get_user_unit(), sd_peer_get_unit(), sd_peer_get_machine_name(), sd_peer_get_slice(), sd_peer_get_user_slice() and sd_peer_get_cgroup() 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 /proc/, and hence are not suitable for authorization purposes, as they are subject to races.
RETURN VALUEOn success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, these calls return a negative errno−style error code.
ErrorsReturned errors may indicate the following problems: −ESRCH The specified PID does not refer to a running process. −EBADF The specified socket file descriptor was invalid. −ENODATA The given field is not specified for the described process or peer. −EINVAL An input parameter was invalid (out of range, or NULL, where that is not accepted). −ENOMEM Memory allocation failed.
NOTESThese APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file. Note that the login session identifier as returned by sd_pid_get_session() is completely unrelated to the process session identifier as returned by getsid(2).
