       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

       posix_spawnattr_getpgroup,  posix_spawnattr_setpgroup  —  get  and  set  the  spawn-pgroup
       attribute of a spawn attributes object (ADVANCED REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <spawn.h>

       int posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr,
           pid_t *restrict pgroup);
       int posix_spawnattr_setpgroup(posix_spawnattr_t *attr, pid_t pgroup);

DESCRIPTION

       The posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() function  shall  obtain  the  value  of  the  spawn-pgroup
       attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.

       The  posix_spawnattr_setpgroup()  function  shall  set  the  spawn-pgroup  attribute in an
       initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

       The spawn-pgroup attribute represents the process group to be joined by  the  new  process
       image in a spawn operation (if POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP is set in the spawn-flags attribute).
       The default value of this attribute shall be zero.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() shall return zero  and  store  the
       value  of  the  spawn-pgroup  attribute  of  attr into the object referenced by the pgroup
       parameter; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

       Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() shall return zero;  otherwise,  an
       error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       These functions may fail if:

       EINVAL The value specified by attr is invalid.

       The posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The value of the attribute being set is not valid.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       These  functions  are  part  of  the  Spawn  option  and  need  not  be  provided  on  all
       implementations.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
