.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn Setpgid
|
|
|
|
|
sets the process group of the specified process
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar pid
|
|
|
|
|
to the specified
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar pgrp .
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar pid
|
|
|
|
|
is zero, then the call applies to the current process.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
If the invoker is not the super-user, then the affected process
|
|
|
|
|
must have the same effective user-id as the invoker or be a descendant
|
|
|
|
|
of the invoking process.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn Setpgid
|
|
|
|
|
returns 0 when the operation was successful.
|
|
|
|
|
If the request failed, -1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
|
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
|
|
|
indicates the reason.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn Setpgid
|
|
|

|
The requested process does not exist.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
|
|
|
The effective user ID of the requested process is different
|
|
|
|
|
from that of the caller and the process is not a descendent
|
|
|
|
|
of the calling process.
