PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

13       getpgid — get the process group ID for a process
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <unistd.h>
17
18       pid_t getpgid(pid_t pid);
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The getpgid() function shall return the process group ID of the process
22       whose  process  ID  is  equal  to pid.  If pid is equal to 0, getpgid()
23       shall return the process group ID of the calling process.
24

RETURN VALUE

26       Upon successful completion, getpgid() shall return a process group  ID.
27       Otherwise,  it  shall  return  (pid_t)−1  and set errno to indicate the
28       error.
29

ERRORS

31       The getpgid() function shall fail if:
32
33       EPERM  The process whose process ID is equal to pid is not in the  same
34              session  as the calling process, and the implementation does not
35              allow access to the process group ID of that  process  from  the
36              calling process.
37
38       ESRCH  There is no process with a process ID equal to pid.
39
40       The getpgid() function may fail if:
41
42       EINVAL The value of the pid argument is invalid.
