If pid is zero, the process ID of the + current process is used. If pgid is zero, the process ID + of the process specified by pid is used. + + getpgid returns the process group ID of the process speci- + fied by pid. If pid is zero, the process ID of the cur- + rent process is used. + + In the Linux DLL 4.4.1 library, setpgrp simply calls + setpgid(0,0). + + getpgrp is equivalent to getpgid(0). + + Process groups are used for distribution of signals, and + by terminals to arbitrate requests for their input: pro- + cesses that have the same process group as the terminal + are foreground and may read, while others will block with + a signal if they attempt to read. + + These calls are thus used by programs such as csh(1) to + create process groups in implementing job control. The + TIOCGPGRP and TIOCSPGRP calls described in termios(4) are + used to get/set the process group of the control terminal. + +<h3>RETURN VALUE +</h3> On success, setpgid and setpgrp return zero. On error, -1 + is returned, and errno is set appropriately. + + getpgid returns a process group on success. On error, -1 + is returned, and errno is set appropriately. + + getpgrp always returns the current process group. + +<h3>ERRORS +</h3> EINVAL pgid is less than 0. + + EPERM Various permission violations. + + ESRCH pid does not match any process. + + + + + +<h3>Linux 1.2.4 15 April 1995 1 +</h3> + + + + +<h3>SETPGID(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SETPGID(2) +</h3> + +</pre> +<hr> +<h3>SEE ALSO +</h3><p> +<a href=getuid.htm>getuid</a>, +<a href=setsid.htm>setsid</a>, +<a href=tcsetpgrp.htm>tcsetpgrp</a>, +<a href=termios+4>termios</a>, +<pre> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<h3>Linux 1.2.4 15 April 1995 2 +</h3> + +
