SETPGRP(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual SETPGRP(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.
setpgrp — set the process group ID
#include <unistd.h> pid_t setpgrp(void);
If the calling process is not already a session leader, setpgrp() sets the process group ID of the calling process to the process ID of the calling process. If setpgrp() creates a new session, then the new session has no controlling terminal. The setpgrp() function has no effect when the calling process is a session leader.
Upon completion, setpgrp() shall return the process group ID.
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative.
None.
It is unspecified whether this function behaves as setpgid(0,0) or setsid() unless the process is already a session leader. Therefore, applications are encouraged to use setpgid() or setsid() as appropriate.
None.
The setpgrp() function may be removed in a future version.
