FUNCTION::NS_GID(3stap)

✨ FUNCTION::NS_GID ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SystemTap Tapset Reference, manual section 3stap 🎀 this one's a context function and it's literally so chill. sit down, hydrate, let's go 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

function::ns_gid — hands you the group ID of a target process, exactly how it looks from inside a user namespace 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ns_gid:long()

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• None — that's it. zero. nada. she takes no arguments, she's low maintenance, she's that girl 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea: this function returns the group ID of a target process as seen in the target user namespace — if one was provided — otherwise it falls back to the stap process namespace. no cap, that's the whole vibe ✨

so like: gimme a namespace, you get the gid from that namespace's point of view. don't gimme one, you get the gid from stap's own namespace. either way you get a gid, and either way it's giving main character energy 💜
