NAME
tcsetpgrp() — set foreground process group id
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int tcsetpgrp(int fildes, pid_t pgrp_id);
DESCRIPTION
If the calling process has a controlling terminal,
tcsetpgrp()
sets the foreground process group
ID
associated with the terminal referenced by
fildes
to
pgrp_id.
The file associated with
fildes
must be the controlling terminal of the calling process
and the controlling terminal must be currently associated
with the session of the calling process.
The value of
pgrp_id
must match a process group
ID
of a process in the same session as the calling process.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion,
tcsetpgrp()
returns zero.
Otherwise,
tcsetpgrp()
returns -1 and sets
errno
to indicate the error.
ERRORS
tcsetpgrp()
fails if any of the following conditions are encountered:
- [EBADF]
fildes
is not a valid file descriptor.
- [EINVAL]
The value of the
pgrp_id
argument is not supported.
- [ENOTTY]
The calling process does not have a controlling terminal,
or the
fildes
is not the controlling terminal, or the controlling terminal
is no longer associated with the session of the calling process.
- [EPERM]
The value of
pgrp_id
is a supported value but does not match the process group
ID
of a process in the same session as the calling process.
