Name

       getpgrp — get the process group ID of the calling process

Prolog

       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.

Rationale

       4.3 BSD provides a getpgrp() function that returns the process group ID for a specified process. Although
       this  function supports job control, all known job control shells always specify the calling process with
       this function. Thus, the simpler System V getpgrp() suffices, and the added complexity  of  the  4.3  BSD
       getpgrp() is provided by the XSI extension getpgid().

Return Value

       The getpgrp() function shall always be successful and no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
