PROLOG         top

       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.

NAME         top

       tcgetpgrp — get the foreground process group ID

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <unistd.h>
       pid_t tcgetpgrp(int fildes);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The tcgetpgrp() function shall return the value of the process group
       ID of the foreground process group associated with the terminal.
       If there is no foreground process group, tcgetpgrp() shall return a
       value greater than 1 that does not match the process group ID of any
       existing process group.
       The tcgetpgrp() function is allowed from a process that is a member
       of a background process group; however, the information may be
       subsequently changed by a process that is a member of a foreground
       process group.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, tcgetpgrp() shall return the value of the
       process group ID of the foreground process associated with the
       terminal. Otherwise, −1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate
       the error.

ERRORS         top

       The tcgetpgrp() function shall fail if:
       EBADF  The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
       ENOTTY The calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or
              the file is not the controlling terminal.
       The following sections are informative.
