Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
.Ft pid_t
|
|
.Fn setsid void
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setsid
|
|
system call creates a new session.
|
|
The calling process is the session leader of the new session, is the
|
|
process group leader of a new process group and has no controlling
|
|
terminal.
|
|
The calling process is the only process in either the session or the
|
|
process group.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the
|
|
.Fn setsid
|
|
system call returns the value of the process group ID of the new process
|
|
group, which is the same as the process ID of the calling process.
|
|
If an error occurs,
|
|
.Fn setsid
|
|
returns -1 and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setsid
|
|
system call will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The calling process is already a process group leader, or the process
|
|
group ID of a process other than the calling process matches the process
|
|
ID of the calling process.
