pgrep looks through the currently running processes and lists the process IDs which matches the selection criteria to stdout. All the criteria have to match. For example,

pgrep -u root sshd

will only list the processes called sshd AND owned by root. On the other hand,

pgrep -u root,daemon

will list the processes owned by root OR daemon.
