explain_setpgid_or_die(3)   Library Functions Manual   explain_setpgid_or_die(3)

NAME
     explain_setpgid_or_die - set process group and report errors

SYNOPSIS
     #include <libexplain/setpgid.h>
     void explain_setpgid_or_die(pid_t pid, pid_t pgid);
     int explain_setpgid_on_error(pid_t pid, pid_t pgid);

DESCRIPTION
     The  explain_setpgid_or_die  function is used to call the setpgid(2) system
     call. On failure an explanation will be printed to  stderr,  obtained  from
     the explain_setpgid(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling
     exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

     The explain_setpgid_on_error function is used to call the setpgid(2) system
     call.  On	failure  an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from
     the explain_setpgid(3) function, but still returns to the caller.

     pid     The pid, exactly as to be passed to the setpgid(2) system call.

     pgid    The pgid, exactly as to be passed to the setpgid(2) system call.

RETURN VALUE
     The explain_setpgid_or_die function only returns on success, see setpgid(2)
     for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it  does
     not return.

     The  explain_setpgid_on_error  function  always returns the value return by
     the wrapped setpgid(2) system call.

EXAMPLE
     The explain_setpgid_or_die function is intended to be  used  in  a  fashion
     similar to the following example:
	    explain_setpgid_or_die(pid, pgid);
