DESCRIPTION
sd_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_pidfd_get_owner_uid(), sd_pidfd_get_session(),
sd_pidfd_get_user_unit(), sd_pidfd_get_unit(),
sd_pidfd_get_machine_name(), sd_pidfd_get_slice(),
sd_pidfd_get_user_slice() and sd_pidfd_get_cgroup() calls operate
similarly to their PID counterparts, but accept a PIDFD instead of a
PID, which means they are not subject to recycle race conditions as the
process is pinned by the file descriptor during the whole duration of
the invocation. Note that these require a kernel that supports PIDFD. A
suitable file descriptor may be acquired via pidfd_open(2).
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
similarly to their PID counterparts, but accept 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 VALUE
On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
these calls return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned 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.
NOTES
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can
be compiled against 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).
