>pid work for linux?

Do I need to include a library? Can anyone please elaborate in it?

I know is used to get the process id of the current task where is being called from

But I want to printk something with current->pid

printk("My current process id/pid is %dn", current->pid);

...and is giving me an error

error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type


You're looking for #include <linux/sched.h> . That's where task_struct is declared.


Your code should work. You are probably missing some header.

current is a per-cpu variable defined in linux/arch/x86/include/asm/current.h (all the code is for the case of x86):

DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task);
static __always_inline struct task_struct *get_current(void)
{
    return percpu_read_stable(current_task);
}
#define current get_current()

current points to the task running on a CPU at a given moment. Its type is struct task_struct and it is defined in linux/include/linux/sched.h :

struct task_struct {
    ...
    pid_t pid;   // process identifier
    pid_t tgid;  // process thread group id
    ...
};

You can browse the code for these files in the Linux Cross Reference:

  • current.h
  • sched.h

  • I think you're looking for the getpid() system call. I don't know what current is though.
