Gets the process group ID for a process.

    This function is OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity servers only.

    Format

      #include  <unistd.h>

      pid_t getpgid  (pid_t pid);

1  –  Argument

 pid

    The process ID for which the group ID is being requested.

2  –  Description

    The getpgid function returns the process group ID of the process
    specified by pid. If pid is 0, the getpgid function returns the
    process group ID of the calling process.

    This function requires that long (32-bit) UID/GID support be
    enabled. See 32-Bit UID and GID Macro (Integrity servers, Alpha)
    for more information.

3  –  Return Values

    x                  The process group ID of the session leader of
                       the specified process.
    (pid_t)-1          Indicates an error. The function sets errno to
                       one of the following values:

                       o  EPERM - The process specified by pid is
                          not in the same session as the calling
                          process, and the implementation does not
                          allow access to the process group ID of
                          that process from the calling process.

                       o  ESRCH - There is no process with a process
                          ID of pid.

                       o  EINVAL - The value of pid is invalid.
