/**
 * SECTION:polkitunixprocess
 * @title: PolkitUnixProcess
 * @short_description: Unix processs
 *
 * An object for representing a UNIX process.
 *
 * To uniquely identify processes, both the process id and the start
 * time of the process (a monotonic increasing value representing the
 * time since the kernel was started) is used.
 *
 * NOTE: This object stores, and provides access to, the real UID of the
 * process.  That value can change over time (with set*uid*(2) and exec*(2)).
 * Checks whether an operation is allowed need to take care to use the UID
 * value as of the time when the operation was made (or, following the open()
 * privilege check model, when the connection making the operation possible
 * was initiated).  That is usually done by initializing this with
 * polkit_unix_process_new_for_owner() with trusted data.
