$BASHPID: PID of the Bash Process

$BASHPID expands to the process ID of the current Bash process. Subshell processes have a different ID than the parent process.

This is similar to $$, but not the same. $$ contains the process ID of the script, i.e. the parent process.

Examples

Print PID of the current process
1
echo $BASHPID $$
Print PID of the current subshell process
1
(echo $BASHPID $$)
