getpid

Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list

long getpid(void);
Number (x86-64) 39
ABI common
Kernel entry point sys_getpid

This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.

Returns the process id (thread group id) of the caller.

The call takes no arguments.

On success: the process id.

In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.

getpid(2) on man7.org

Coverage mark: Implemented. All arguments are plain values, recorded as the raw argument words at entry. There is no pointee to copy and no known gap.

Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).

  • Result: ret, syscall.errno, syscall.success, syscall.duration_ns.
  • Argument words: none; args.0 to args.5 by position.

See Syscall Trace filter for the full syntax.
