posix_spawnattr_setpgroup()

Set the spawn-pgroup attribute of a spawn attributes object.

Synopsis:

#include <posix_spawnattr.h>

int posix_spawnattr_setpgroup(
       posix_spawnattr_t *attrp,
       pid_t pid);

Arguments:

attrp
A spawn attribute object.
pid
The process group to join by the new process image in a spawn operation.
The child process's group if you specify POSIX_SPAWN_SETGROUP in the flags member.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

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

The spawn pid_p 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 is zero.

Returns:

Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_setpgroup()) returns zero; otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error (errno is set).

Errors:

EINVAL
For any invalid parameter.
EOK
Success.

Classification:

POSIX 1003.1 RTS

Safety:
Cancellation point No
Interrupt handler Yes
Signal handler Yes
Thread Yes
