       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of
       Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       killpg — send a signal to a process group

SYNOPSIS

       #include <signal.h>

       int killpg(pid_t pgrp, int sig);

DESCRIPTION

       The  killpg()  function  shall  send  the  signal  specified  by  sig to the process group
       specified by pgrp.

       If pgrp is greater than 1, killpg(pgrp, sig) shall be equivalent to  kill(−pgrp, sig).  If
       pgrp is less than or equal to 1, the behavior of killpg() is undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       Refer to kill().

ERRORS

       Refer to kill().

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

   Sending a Signal to All Other Members of a Process Group
       The  following  example  shows  how  the  calling process could send a signal to all other
       members of its process group. To prevent itself from receiving the signal it  first  makes
       itself immune to the signal by ignoring it.

           #include <signal.h>
           #include <unistd.h>
           ...
               if (signal(SIGUSR1, SIG_IGN) == SIG_ERR)
                   /* Handle error */;

               if (killpg(getpgrp(), SIGUSR1) == −1)
                   /* Handle error */;"

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
