|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setpgid
|
|
system call
|
|
sets the process group of the specified process
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
to the specified
|
|
.Fa pgrp .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
is zero, then the call applies to the current process.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa pgrp
|
|
is zero, then the process id of the process specified by
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
is used instead.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the affected process is not the invoking process, then it must be a
|
|
child of the invoking process, it must not have performed an
|
|
.Xr exec 3
|
|
operation, and both processes must be in the same session.
|
|
The requested process group ID must already exist in the session of
|
|
the caller, or it must be equal to the target process ID.
