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.

SEE ALSO
      intro(2), exec(2), fork(2), getpid(2), kill(2), setsid(2), signal(2).

DIAGNOSTICS
      setpgrp returns the value of the new process group ID.

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