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.
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.
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).
