PROLOG
       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       tcsetpgrp - set the foreground process group ID

SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>

       int tcsetpgrp(int fildes, pid_t pgid_id);

DESCRIPTION
       If the process has a controlling terminal, tcsetpgrp() shall set the foreground process group ID associated with the terminal  to  pgid_id.
       The  application  shall	ensure that the file associated with fildes is the controlling terminal of the calling process and the controlling
       terminal is currently associated with the session of the calling process. The application shall ensure that the value of pgid_id matches  a
       process group ID of a process in the same session as the calling process.

       Attempts to use tcsetpgrp() from a process which is a member of a background process group on a fildes associated with its controlling ter-
       minal shall cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal. If the calling process	is  blocking  or  ignoring  SIGTTOU  signals,  the
       process shall be allowed to perform the operation, and no signal is sent.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and errno set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The tcsetpgrp() function shall 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.

       EPERM  The value of pgid_id is a value supported by the implementation, but does not match the process group ID of a process  in  the  same
	      session as the calling process.
