NAME
tcsetpgrp -- set foreground process group ID LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int tcsetpgrp(int fildes, pid_t pgid_id); DESCRIPTION
If the process has a controlling terminal, the tcsetpgrp() function sets the foreground process group ID associated with the terminal device to pgid_id. The terminal device 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 pgid_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 fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor. [EINVAL] An invalid value of pgid_id was specified. [ENOTTY] The calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or the file represented by fildes is not the controlling termi- nal, or the controlling terminal is no longer associated with the session of the calling process. [EPERM] The pgid_id argument does not match the process group ID of a process in the same session as the calling process. LEGACY SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> The include file <sys/types.h> is necessary. SEE ALSO
setpgid(2), setsid(2), tcgetpgrp(3), compat(5) STANDARDS
The tcsetpgrp() function is expected to be compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'') specification. BSD

NAME
tcsetpgrp - set foreground process group ID SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> int tcsetpgrp(int fildes, pid_t pgid_id); DESCRIPTION
If the process has a controlling terminal, tcsetpgrp() will set the foreground process group ID associated with the terminal to pgid_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 pgid_id must match a process group ID of a process in the same session as the calling process. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The tcsetpgrp() function will fail if: EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor. EINVAL This implementation does not support the value in the pgid_id argument. ENOTTY The calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or the file is not the controlling terminal, or the controlling terminal is no longer associated with the session of the calling process. EIO The process is not ignoring or holding SIGTTOU and is a member of an orphaned process group. EPERM The value of pgid_id does not match the process group ID of a process in the same session as the calling process. ATTRIBUTES
