This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface
may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface
may not be implemented on Linux.
Rationale
None.
Return Value
Upon successful completion, tcgetsid() shall return the process group ID of the session associated with
the terminal. Otherwise, a value of -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
