The setpgid function is used either to join an existing process group or create a new process group within the session of the calling process. The process group ID of a session leader will not change. Upon successful completion, the process group ID of the process with a process ID of pid is set to pgid. As a special case, if pid is 0, the process ID of the calling process is used. Also, if pgid is 0, the process group ID of the indicated process is used. 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.
