Right, find attached at the end an initial version of the
manual page.
If you wish to publish my name as the author in the HISTORY
or AUTHOR sections, you are welcome to do so, but, please, do
not include my e-mail address in there.
I get quite a load of spam already every day. Though it makes
perfect sense to always publish the names of authors, I would
like it to be done in a way that does not increase my spam
levels.
Cheers,

.Dt TCGETSID 3
.Os Standard C Library Functions
.Sh NAME
.Nm tcgetsid
.Nd get session ID for controlling terminal
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In termios.h
.Ft pid_t
.Fn tcgetsid "int fd"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn tcgetsid
function obtains the session ID of the session for which the terminal
specified by fd is the controlling terminal.
.Pp
This function is a convenience function only and in practice it is
equal to calling
.Nm getsid
(
.Nm tcgetpgrp
(
.Ar "int fd"
)).
.Pp
The session ID is equal to the process group ID (and the process ID)
for the session leader for the controlling terminal.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, tcgetsid() returns the process group ID
associated with the terminal.
Otherwise, a value of (pid_t)-1 is returned and errno is set to
indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn tcgetsid
function may fail with
.Nm errno
set to the following values:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EACCES
The
.Fa fd
argument is not associated with a controlling terminal.
.It Bq Er EBADF
The
.Fa fd
argument is not a valid file descriptor.
.It Bq Er ENOTTY
The file associated with
.Fa fd
is not a terminal.
.It Bq Er ESRCH
There is no process with a process ID equal to the process group ID
of the terminal.
.Pp
Note that an implementation may restrict the availability of
this function to processes within the same session ID as
the calling process.
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr getsid 2 ,
.Xr tcgetpgrp 3
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn tcgetsid
function is expected to be compliant with the
.St -p1003.1-2001
