TCSETPGRP(3P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             TCSETPGRP(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       tcsetpgrp - set the foreground process group ID
SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>
       int tcsetpgrp(int fildes, pid_t pgid_id);

DESCRIPTION
       If the process has a controlling terminal, tcsetpgrp()  shall  set  the
       foreground  process  group  ID associated with the terminal to pgid_id.
       The application shall ensure that the file associated  with  fildes  is
       the  controlling  terminal  of  the calling process and the controlling
       terminal is currently  associated  with  the  session  of  the  calling
       process. The application shall ensure that the value of pgid_id matches
       a process group ID of a process in the  same  session  as  the  calling
       process.
       Attempts to use tcsetpgrp() from a process which is a member of a back-
       ground process group on a fildes associated with its controlling termi-
       nal  shall  cause the process group to be sent a SIGTTOU signal. If the
       calling process is blocking or ignoring SIGTTOU  signals,  the  process
       shall be allowed to perform the operation, and no signal is sent.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall be
       returned and errno set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
       The tcsetpgrp() function shall fail if:
       EBADF  The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
       EINVAL This implementation does not support the value  in  the  pgid_id
              argument.
       ENOTTY The calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or the
              file is not the controlling terminal, or the controlling  termi-
              nal  is  no  longer  associated  with the session of the calling
              process.
       EPERM  The value of pgid_id is a value supported by the implementation,
              but does not match the process group ID of a process in the same
              session as the calling process.
