What deletes old PHP session files?

I know php.ini dictates how long sessions live for and where they reside.
But what process is it that deletes them old sessions?

For instance I have a session open - there is a session file being stored in tmp.
If session time is set to 0 it is suppose to last the lifetime of the browser.

Say I loose network connectivity then close my browser - then no data was sent back to server saying the lifetime of my browser has ended. So process deletes the orphaned session file?
