The process.ppid property is an inbuilt application programming interface of the process module which is used to get the PID of the current parent process. Syntax:
process.ppid
Return Value: This property returns an integer value specifying the PID of the current parent process. Below examples illustrate the use of process.ppid property in Node.js: Example: javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// process.ppid Property
 
// Include process module
const process = require('process');

// Printing process.pid value
console.log("process id is " + process.pid);

// Printing parent process.ppid
console.log("parent process id is " + process.ppid);
Output:
process id is 12024
parent process id is 12168
Note: The above program will compile and run by using the node filename.js command. Reference: https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_ppid
