sysctl semantics for KERN_PROC_PID

Hi, I am trying to check the existence of a process through sysctl ( CTL_KERN ) . I am using the below construct :

 mib[0] = CTL_KERN;
 mib[1] = KERN_PROC;
 mib[2] = KERN_PROC_PID;
 mib[3] = pid;

sysctl(mib, 4, &kp, &len, NULL, 0);

In the case that the pid is not around , what's the documented return value for sysctl , -1 or 0 , for Mac OS X 10.5 ? Is the behaviour same for Mac OS X 10.4 too ?

Thanks.
Rohitash
