setpgrp(2)                                                       setpgrp(2)

NAME
     setpgrp - set process group ID

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <unistd.h>

     pidt setpgrp(void);

DESCRIPTION
     If the calling process is not already a session leader, setpgrp() sets
     the process group ID and session ID of the calling process to the pro-
     cess ID of the calling process, and releases the calling process' con-
     trolling terminal.

RESULT
     setpgrp() returns the value of the new process group ID.

NOTES
     setpgrp() will be phased out in favor of the setsid(2) function.

SEE ALSO
     exec(2), fork(2), getpid(2), kill(2), setsid(2), signal(2).
