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,  the
      setpgrp() function makes it one by setting its process group
      ID and session ID to  the  value  of  its  process  ID,  and
      releases  its  controlling  terminal.  See intro(3) for more
      information on process group IDs and session leaders.
 
 RETURN VALUES
      The setpgrp() function returns the value of the new  process
      group ID.

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