TCSETPGRP(3)		    Library Functions Manual		  TCSETPGRP(3)

NAME
       tcsetpgrp -- set	foreground process group ID

LIBRARY
       Standard	C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<sys/types.h>
       #include	<unistd.h>

       int
       tcsetpgrp(int fd, pid_t pgrp_id);

DESCRIPTION
       If  the	process	 has  a	controlling terminal, the tcsetpgrp() function
       sets the	foreground process group ID associated with the	 terminal  de-
       vice  to	 pgrp_id.   The	terminal device	associated with	fd must	be the
       controlling terminal of the calling process and the controlling	termi-
       nal  must  be  currently	 associated  with  the	session	of the calling
       process.	 The value of pgrp_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 fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.

       [EINVAL]		  An invalid value of pgrp_id was specified.

       [ENOTTY]		  The calling process does not have a controlling ter-
			  minal, or the	file represented by fd is not the con-
			  trolling terminal, or	the controlling	terminal is no
			  longer associated with the session  of  the  calling
			  process.

       [EPERM]		  The  pgrp_id	argument  does	not  match the process
			  group	ID of a	process	in the	same  session  as  the
			  calling process.

SEE ALSO
       setpgid(2), setsid(2), tcgetpgrp(3)

STANDARDS
       The  tcsetpgrp()	function is expected to	be compliant with the IEEE Std
       1003.1-1988 ("POSIX.1") specification.
