KILLPG(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual KILLPG(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
killpg — send a signal to a process group
#include <signal.h>
int killpg(pid_t pgrp, int sig);
The killpg() function shall send the signal specified by sig to the
process group specified by pgrp.
If pgrp is greater than 1, killpg(pgrp, sig) shall be equivalent to
kill(−pgrp, sig). If pgrp is less than or equal to 1, the behavior of
killpg() is undefined.
Refer to kill(3p).
Refer to kill(3p).
The following sections are informative.
Sending a Signal to All Other Members of a Process Group
The following example shows how the calling process could send a
signal to all other members of its process group. To prevent itself
from receiving the signal it first makes itself immune to the signal
by ignoring it.
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>
...
if (signal(SIGUSR1, SIG_IGN) == SIG_ERR)
/* Handle error */;
if (killpg(getpgrp(), SIGUSR1) == −1)
/* Handle error */;"
None.
None.
None.
