+The [LinuxSUIDSandbox](LinuxSUIDSandbox.md) currently relies on support for the CLONE\_NEWPID flag in Linux's [clone() system call](http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/clone.2.html). You can check whether your system supports PID namespaces with the code below, which must be run as root:
+
+```
+#define _GNU_SOURCE
+#include <unistd.h>
+#include <sched.h>
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <sys/wait.h>
+
+#if !defined(CLONE_NEWPID)
+#define CLONE_NEWPID 0x20000000
+#endif
+
+int worker(void* arg) {
+ const pid_t pid = getpid();
+ if (pid == 1) {
+ printf("PID namespaces are working\n");
+ } else {
+ printf("PID namespaces ARE NOT working. Child pid: %d\n", pid);
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+}
+
+int main() {
+ if (getuid()) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "Must be run as root.\n");
+ return 1;
+ }
+
+ char stack[8192];
+ const pid_t child = clone(worker, stack + sizeof(stack), CLONE_NEWPID, NULL);
+ if (child == -1) {
+ perror("clone");
+ fprintf(stderr, "Clone failed. PID namespaces ARE NOT supported\n");
+ }
+
+ waitpid(child, NULL, 0);
+
+ return 0;
+}
+```
