killpg: vyslat signál skupině procesů

Originální popis anglicky: killpg - send signal to a process group

Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual

STRUČNĚ

#include <signal.h> int killpg(int pgrp, int sig);

POPIS / INSTRUKCE

Killpg sends the signal sig to the process group pgrp. See signal(7) for a list of signals. If pgrp is 0, killpg sends the signal to the sending process's process group. (POSIX says: If pgrp is less than or equal to 1, the behaviour is undefined.) For a process to have permission to send a signal it must either be privileged (under Linux: have the CAP_KILL capability), or the real or effective user ID of the sending process must equal the real or saved set-user-ID of the target process. In the case of SIGCONT it suffices when the sending and receiving processes belong to the same session.

NÁVRATOVÁ HODNOTA

On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

CHYBY / ERRORY

EINVAL

Sig is not a valid signal number.

EPERM

The process does not have permission to send the signal to any of the target processes.

ESRCH

No process can be found in the process group specified by pgrp.

ESRCH

The process group was given as 0 but the sending process does not have a process group.

NOTES

There are various differences between the permission checking in BSD-type systems and SYSV-type systems. See the POSIX rationale for kill(). A difference not mentioned by POSIX concerns the return value EPERM: BSD documents that no signal is sent and EPERM returned when the permission check failed for at least one target process, while POSIX documents EPERM only when the permission check failed for all target processes.

ODPOVÍDAJÍCÍ
