получить идентификацию процесса (get process identification)
Имя (Name)
getpid, getppid - get process identification
Синопсис (Synopsis)
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t getpid(void);
pid_t getppid(void);
Описание (Description)
getpid() returns the process ID (PID) of the calling process.
(This is often used by routines that generate unique temporary
filenames.)
getppid() returns the process ID of the parent of the calling
process. This will be either the ID of the process that created
this process using fork(), or, if that process has already
terminated, the ID of the process to which this process has been
reparented (either init(1) or a "subreaper" process defined via
the prctl(2) PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER operation).
Ошибки (Error)
These functions are always successful.
Стандарты (Conforming to)
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, 4.3BSD, SVr4.
Примечание (Note)
If the caller's parent is in a different PID namespace (see
pid_namespaces(7)), getppid() returns 0.
From a kernel perspective, the PID (which is shared by all of the
threads in a multithreaded process) is sometimes also known as
the thread group ID (TGID). This contrasts with the kernel
thread ID (TID), which is unique for each thread. For further
details, see gettid(2) and the discussion of the CLONE_THREAD
flag in clone(2).
C library/kernel differences
From glibc version 2.3.4 up to and including version 2.24, the
glibc wrapper function for getpid() cached PIDs, with the goal of
avoiding additional system calls when a process calls getpid()
repeatedly. Normally this caching was invisible, but its correct
operation relied on support in the wrapper functions for fork(2),
vfork(2), and clone(2): if an application bypassed the glibc
wrappers for these system calls by using syscall(2), then a call
to getpid() in the child would return the wrong value (to be
precise: it would return the PID of the parent process). In
addition, there were cases where getpid() could return the wrong
value even when invoking clone(2) via the glibc wrapper function.
(For a discussion of one such case, see BUGS in clone(2).)
Furthermore, the complexity of the caching code had been the
source of a few bugs within glibc over the years.
Because of the aforementioned problems, since glibc version 2.25,
the PID cache is removed: calls to getpid() always invoke the
actual system call, rather than returning a cached value.
On Alpha, instead of a pair of getpid() and getppid() system
calls, a single getxpid() system call is provided, which returns
a pair of PID and parent PID. The glibc getpid() and getppid()
wrapper functions transparently deal with this. See syscall(2)
for details regarding register mapping.
