setsid(2) System Calls Manual setsid(2) NAME
setsid - Sets the process group ID SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> pid_t setsid( void ); Application developers may want to specify an #include statement for <sys/types.h> before the one for <unistd.h> if programs are being developed for multiple platforms. The additional #include statement is not required on Tru64 UNIX systems or by ISO or X/Open standards, but may be required on other vendors' systems that conform to these standards. STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows: setsid(): XPG4, XPG4-UNIX Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION
The setsid() function creates a new session when the calling process is not a process group leader. The calling process then becomes the session leader of this session, becomes the process leader of the new process group, and has no controlling terminal. The process group ID of the calling process is set equal to its process ID. The calling process becomes the only process in the new process group and the only process in the new session. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the setsid function returns the value of the new process group ID. Otherwise, a value of (pid_t)-1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The setsid() function sets errno to the specified values for the following conditions: The calling process is already the process group leader, or the process group ID of another process matches the process ID of the calling process. RELATED INFORMATION
