- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <unistd.h>
- .P
- pid_t tcgetpgrp(int \fIfildes\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fItcgetpgrp\fR()
- function shall return the value of the process group ID of the
- foreground process group associated with the terminal.
- .P
- If there is no foreground process group,
- \fItcgetpgrp\fR()
- shall return a value greater than 1 that does not match the process
- group ID of any existing process group.
- .P
- The
- \fItcgetpgrp\fR()
- function is allowed from a process that is a member of a background
- process group; however, the information may be subsequently changed by
- a process that is a member of a foreground process group.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- Upon successful completion,
- \fItcgetpgrp\fR()
- shall return the value of the process group ID of the foreground
- process associated with the terminal. Otherwise, \-1 shall be
- returned and
- .IR errno
- set to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fItcgetpgrp\fR()
- function shall fail if:
