TCGETPGRP(3) Library Functions Manual TCGETPGRP(3)

tcgetpgrpget foreground process group ID

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

#include <unistd.h>

pid_t
tcgetpgrp(int fildes);

The () function returns the value of the process group ID of the foreground process group associated with the terminal device. If there is no foreground process group, tcgetpgrp() returns an invalid process ID.

If an error occurs, tcgetpgrp() returns -1 and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error, as follows:

[]
The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
[]
The calling process does not have a controlling terminal or the underlying terminal device represented by fildes is not the controlling terminal.

#include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h>

The include file <sys/types.h> is necessary.

setpgid(2), setsid(2), tcsetpgrp(3), compat(5)

The tcgetpgrp() function is expected to be compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (“POSIX.1”) specification.
