Gets the process group ID for a process.
This function is supported on OpenVMS Integrity servers and
Alpha only.
Format
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t getpgid (pid_t pid);
pid
The process ID for which the group ID is being requested.
The getpgid function returns the process group ID of the process
specified by pid. If pid is 0, the getpgid function returns the
process group ID of the calling process.
This function requires that long (32-bit) UID/GID support be
enabled. See 32-Bit UID and GID Macro (Integrity servers, Alpha)
for more information.
x The process group ID of the session leader of
the specified process.
(pid_t)-1 Indicates an error. The function sets errno to
one of the following values:
o EPERM - The process specified by pid is
not in the same session as the calling
process, and the implementation does not
allow access to the process group ID of
that process from the calling process.
o ESRCH - There is no process with a process
ID of pid.
o EINVAL - The value of pid is invalid.
