setpgrp(2)                                                setpgrp(2)


       NAME
             setpgrp - set process group ID

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <sys/types.h>
             #include <unistd.h>
             pid_t setpgrp(void);

       DESCRIPTION
             If the calling process is not already a session leader,
             setpgrp sets the process group ID and session ID of the
             calling process to the process ID of the calling process, and
             releases the calling process's controlling terminal.

          Return Values
             On success, setpgrp returns the value of the new process group
             ID.

       REFERENCES
             exec(2), fork(2), getpid(2), intro(2), kill(2), setsid(2),
             signal(2)

       NOTICES
             setpgrp will be phased out in favor of the setsid(2) function.
             setsid(2)

          Considerations for Threads Programming
             This ID number is an attribute of the containing process and
             is shared by sibling threads.
