NAME
tcgetpgrp -- get foreground process group ID LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> pid_t tcgetpgrp(int fd); DESCRIPTION
The tcgetpgrp() function returns the value of the process group ID of the foreground process group associated with the terminal device. If there is no foreground process group, tcgetpgrp() returns an invalid process ID. ERRORS
If an error occurs, tcgetpgrp() returns -1 and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error, as follows: [EBADF] The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor. [ENOTTY] The calling process does not have a controlling terminal or the underlying terminal device represented by fd is not the controlling terminal. SEE ALSO
setpgid(2), setsid(2), tcsetpgrp(3) STANDARDS
The tcgetpgrp() function is expected to be compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'') specification. BSD

NAME
tcsetpgrp -- set foreground process group ID LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> int tcsetpgrp(int fd, pid_t pgrp_id); DESCRIPTION
If the process has a controlling terminal, the tcsetpgrp() function sets the foreground process group ID associated with the terminal device to pgrp_id. The terminal device associated with fd 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 be the same as the process group ID of a process in the same session as the calling process. RETURN VALUES
The tcsetpgrp() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indi- cate the error. ERRORS
The tcsetpgrp() function will fail if: [EBADF] The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor. [EINVAL] An invalid value of pgrp_id was specified. [ENOTTY] The calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or the file represented by fd is not the controlling terminal, or the controlling terminal is no longer associated with the session of the calling process. [EPERM] The pgrp_id argument does not match the process group ID of a process in the same session as the calling process. SEE ALSO
