Well I still have all the floppies 5.1/4 for the ATT UNIX 386 sysVR3 (1988?) was for a Prime server which had 24 wise teminals 16MB RAM 150MB scsi disk... We use to compile cobol on the poor system (RMCOBOL...). (Yes a 386 DX33...)
Was working great (1990-91), and I decided then that one day I would be working on UNIX...
Dream come true haha
when SUN implemented SVR4 I think its when they changed name of the OS from SunOS to Solaris... Sure it was less than 1GB...
Yep... those were the days. If I'm correct there were 10 floppies for the base install. We had the feeling that we were administrating some super computer though haha...
Thanks for refresh(); my memory banks,
Greetings

getpgrp
GETPGRP(2) BSD System Calls Manual GETPGRP(2)
NAME
getpgrp, getpgid -- get process group
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t
getpgrp(void);
pid_t
getpgid(pid_t pid);
DESCRIPTION
The process group of the current process is returned by getpgrp(). The process group of the pid process is returned by getpgid().
Process groups are used for distribution of signals, and by terminals to arbitrate requests for their input: processes that have the same
process group as the terminal are foreground and may read, while others will block with a signal if they attempt to read.
This call is thus used by programs such as csh(1) to create process groups in implementing job control. The tcgetpgrp() and tcsetpgrp()
calls are used to get/set the process group of the control terminal.
ERRORS
getpgrp() always succeeds, however getpgid() will succeed unless:
[ESRCH] if there is no process with a process ID equal to pid.
SEE ALSO
setpgid(2), termios(4)
STANDARDS
The getpgrp() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'').
HISTORY
The getpgrp() function call appeared in 4.0BSD. The getpgid() function call is derived from its usage in AT&T System V Release 4 UNIX, and
first appeared in NetBSD 1.3.
COMPATIBILITY
This version of getpgrp() differs from past Berkeley versions by not taking a pid_t pid argument. This incompatibility is required by
ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1'').
From the ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1'') Rationale:
4.3BSD provides a getpgrp() function that returns the process group ID for a specified process. Although this function is used to support
job control, all known job-control shells always specify the calling process with this function. Thus, the simpler System V getpgrp() suf-
fices, and the added complexity of the 4.3BSD getpgrp() has been omitted from POSIX.1. The old functionality is available from the getpgid()
function.
