NAME

   tcgetsid - get session ID

SYNOPSIS

   #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500        /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
   #include <termios.h>

   pid_t tcgetsid(int fd);

DESCRIPTION

   The  function  tcgetsid() returns the session ID of the current session
   that has the terminal associated to fd as controlling  terminal.   This
   terminal must be the controlling terminal of the calling process.

RETURN VALUE

   When fd refers to the controlling terminal of our session, the function
   tcgetsid() will return the session ID of this session.   Otherwise,  -1
   is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

   EBADF  fd is not a valid file descriptor.

   ENOTTY The  calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or it
          has one but it is not described by fd.

VERSIONS

   tcgetsid() is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
