GETPGID(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual GETPGID(P)NAMEgetpgid - get the process group ID for a process
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t getpgid(pid_t pid);
DESCRIPTION
The getpgid() function shall return the process group ID of the process
whose process ID is equal to pid. If pid is equal to 0, getpgid() shall
return the process group ID of the calling process.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, getpgid() shall return a process group ID.
Otherwise, it shall return (pid_t)-1 and set errno to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
The getpgid() function shall fail if:
EPERM The process whose process ID is equal to pid is not in the same
session as the calling process, and the implementation does not
allow access to the process group ID of that process from the
calling process.
ESRCH There is no process with a process ID equal to pid.
The getpgid() function may fail if:
EINVAL The value of the pid argument is invalid.
