  NAME

    setpgrp - Sets process group ID

  LIBRARY

    Standard C Library (libc.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    int setpgrp(
      void );

  DESCRIPTION

    The setpgrp() function sets the calling process's group and session ID to
    its process ID and returns the new process group ID.  Unless the process
    is already a session process group leader, the controlling terminal is
    disassociated.  Once a process calls setpgrp(), it irrevocably becomes a
    session process group leader.

  EXAMPLES

    To become a session process group leader:

    setpgrp();


  RETURN VALUES

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