Synopsis

Set the process group-id

Int_Type setpgid (Int_Type pid, Int_Type gid)

Description

The setpgid function sets the group-id gid of the process whose process-id is pid. If pid is 0, then the current process-id will be used. If pgid is 0, then the pid of the affected process will be used.

If successful zero will be returned, otherwise the function will return -1 and set errno accordingly.
