TCSETPGRP(3)                         SysV                         TCSETPGRP(3)



NAME
     tcsetpgrp - Set foreground process group ID

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>

     int tcsetpgrp (filedes, pgrp_id)
     int filedes;
     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 to the value
     of the pgrp_id argument.

     The filedes argument specifies an open file descriptor and the pgrp_id
     argument specifies the process group identifier.

     The file associated with the filedes argument must be the controlling
     terminal of the calling process, and the controlling terminal must be
     currently associated with the session of the calling process. The value
     of the pgrp_id argument must match a process group ID of a process in the
     same session as the calling process.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Upon successful completion, a value of 0 (zero) is returned. Otherwise, a
     value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     tcsetpgrp fails if:

     [EBADF]   The filedes argument is not a valid file descriptor.

     [EINVAL]  The pgrp_id argument is invalid.

     [ENOTTY]  The calling process does not have a controlling terminal, the
               file is not the controlling terminal, or the controlling
               terminal is no longer associated with the session of the
               calling process.

     [EPERM]   The pgrp_id argument is valid, but matches a process ID or
               process group ID of a process in another session.
