> group ID is overloaded. Sorry about that. NuttX does not support group security as does Linux. The group ID refers to the "task group", not to the security group. Back to the original question. "Should getpid() return the process ID?" Currently it returns the thread ID of the caller. I suppose it would, more appropriately return group ID (since the process ID of each thread should be the same, only the thread ID should be different.). That would break a LOT of user code, I suspect. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
