GETLCID(2)                                 BSD System Calls Manual                                GETLCID(2)

NAME
     getlcid -- get login context

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/lctx.h>

     pid_t
     getlcid(pid_t pid);

DESCRIPTION
     The login context of the process identified by pid is returned by getlcid().  If pid is zero, getlcid()
     returns the login context of the current process.

     Login contexts are used for tracking processes that originated from a users login session.  A login
     context is inherited via fork() or by explicit creation using the setlcid() call.

RETURN VALUES
     If successful, getlcid() returns a non-negative integer, the Login Context ID; otherwise the value -1
     is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The getlcid() function will fail if:

     [EPERM]            Operation not permitted.

     [ESRCH]            No such process.

     [ENOATTR]          Attribute not found.
