NAME

       setpgrp - set the process group ID

SYNOPSIS

       #include <unistd.h>

       pid_t setpgrp(void);

DESCRIPTION

       If the calling process is not already a session leader, setpgrp() sets the process group ID of the calling process to the process ID of the
       calling process. If setpgrp() creates a new session, then the new session has no controlling terminal.

       The setpgrp() function has no effect when the calling process is a session leader.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon completion, setpgrp() shall return the process group ID.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
