posix_spawnattr_setpgroup

POSIX_SPAWNATTR_GETPGROUP(3)				   BSD Library Functions Manual 			      POSIX_SPAWNATTR_GETPGROUP(3)

NAME

     posix_spawnattr_getpgroup, posix_spawnattr_setpgroup -- get and set the spawn-pgroup attribute of a spawn attributes object

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <spawn.h>

     int
     posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, pid_t *restrict pgroup);

     int
     posix_spawnattr_setpgroup(posix_spawnattr_t *attr, pid_t pgroup);

DESCRIPTION

     The posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() function obtains the value of the spawn-pgroup attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.

     The posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() function sets the spawn-pgroup attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

     The spawn-pgroup attribute represents the process group to be joined by the new process image in a spawn operation (if POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
     is set in the spawn-flags attribute).  The default value of this attribute is zero.

RETURN VALUES

     The posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() and posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() functions return zero.

SEE ALSO

     posix_spawn(3), posix_spawnattr_destroy(3), posix_spawnattr_init(3), posix_spawnp(3)

STANDARDS

     The posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() and posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     The posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() and posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() functions first appeared in FreeBSD 8.0 and imported for NetBSD 6.
