|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <unistd.h>
|
|
.Ft pid_t
|
|
.Fn getpgrp "void"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The process group of the current process is returned by
|
|
.Fn getpgrp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Process groups are used for distribution of signals, and
|
|
by terminals to arbitrate requests for their input: processes
|
|
that have the same process group as the terminal are foreground
|
|
and may read, while others will block with a signal if they attempt
|
|
to read.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This call is thus used by programs such as
|
|
.Xr csh 1
|
|
to create
|
|
process groups
|
|
in implementing job control.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn tcgetpgrp
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn tcsetpgrp
|
|
calls
|
|
are used to get/set the process group of the control terminal.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getpgrp
|
|
function call appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.0 .
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getpgrp
|
|
function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-1988
|
|
.Pq Dq Tn POSIX .
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
This version of
|
|
.Fn getpgrp
|
|
differs from past Berkeley versions by not taking a
|
|
.Fa "pid_t pid"
|
|
argument.
|
|
This incompatibility is required by
|
|
.St -p1003.1-88 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
From the
|
|
.St -p1003.1-88
|
|
Rationale:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.Bx 4.3
|
|
provides a
|
|
.Fn getpgrp
|
|
function that returns the process group ID for a specified process.
|
|
Although this function is used to support job control, all known
|
|
job-control shells always specify the calling process with this
|
|
function.
|
|
Thus, the simpler
|
|
.At V
|
|
.Fn getpgrp
|
|
suffices, and the added complexity of the
|
|
.Bx 4.3
|
|
.Fn getpgrp
|
|
has been omitted from POSIX.1.
