How to find SPID without access to v$process

Question

To all experts,
Is the another way to find out the value of SPID in v$process without accessing v$process? Just pure PL/SQL.
Thank you all in advance.

Hi Kuljeet,
Ho can I get the info process from the OS side using the output of this query?
Is the SPID referring to OS PID? If I have an output for this query's SPID of 7224
Can I do > ps -ef |grep 7224 to get the OS side process? or No information will suffice?
Thanks a lot,read & learn!
