int PQbackendPID(const PGconn *conn);

The backend <acronym>PID</acronym> is useful for debugging
- purposes and for comparison
- to NOTIFY messages (which include the <acronym>PID</acronym> of
- the notifying backend).
- Note that the <acronym>PID</acronym> belongs to a process
- executing on the database
- server host, not the local host!
