+.SH NAME
+getsid \- get the process group ID of a session leader
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <unistd.h>
+.br
+.sp
+pid_t getsid(pid_t\fP \fIpid\fP\fB); \fP
+\fB
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIgetsid\fP() function shall obtain the process group ID of the
+process that is the session leader of the process
+specified by \fIpid\fP. If \fIpid\fP is (\fBpid_t\fP)0, it specifies
+the calling process.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIgetsid\fP() shall return the process
+group ID of the session leader of the specified process.
+Otherwise, it shall return (\fBpid_t\fP)-1 and set \fIerrno\fP to
+indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIgetsid\fP() function shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EPERM
+The process specified by \fIpid\fP is not in the same session as the
+calling process, and the implementation does not allow
+access to the process group ID of the session leader of that process
+from the calling process.
+.TP 7
+.B ESRCH
+There is no process with a process ID equal to \fIpid\fP.
