NAME
TIOCGPGRP, TIOCSPGRP, TIOCGSID - process group and session ID
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <asm/termbits.h> /* Definition of TIOC* constants */ #include <sys/ioctl.h> int ioctl(int fd, TIOCGPGRP, pid_t *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TIOCSPGRP, const pid_t *argp); int ioctl(int fd, TIOCGSID, pid_t *argp);
DESCRIPTION
TIOCGPGRP When successful, equivalent to *argp = tcgetpgrp(fd). Get the process group ID of the foreground process group on this terminal. TIOCSPGRP Equivalent to tcsetpgrp(fd, *argp). Set the foreground process group ID of this terminal. TIOCGSID When successful, equivalent to *argp = tcgetsid(fd). Get the session ID of the given terminal. This fails with the error ENOTTY if the terminal is not a master pseudoterminal and not our controlling terminal. Strange.
RETURN VALUE
On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
ENOTTY The terminal is not a master pseudoterminal and not our controlling terminal. EPERM Insufficient permission.
