This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface

Application Usage

       None.

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.

Errors

       Refer to kill().

Examples

SendingaSignaltoAllOtherMembersofaProcessGroup
       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 */;"

Future Directions

       None.
