getpgid - get the process group ID for a process
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <unistd.h>
 
 
pid_t getpgid(pid_t 
 pid);  
 
The 
getpgid() function shall return the process group ID of the process
  whose process ID is equal to 
pid. If 
pid is equal to 0,
  
getpgid() shall return the process group ID of the calling process.
Upon successful completion, 
getpgid() shall return a process group ID.
  Otherwise, it shall return ( 
pid_t)-1 and set 
errno to indicate
  the error.
The 
getpgid() function shall fail if:
  - EPERM
- The process whose process ID is equal to 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.
  - ESRCH
- There is no process with a process ID equal to pid.
      
The 
getpgid() function may fail if:
  - EINVAL
- The value of the pid argument is invalid.
