killpg - send signal to all members of a process group
Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual
#include <signal.h>
int killpg(pid_t pgrp, int signal);
The
killpg() function causes signal
signal to be sent to all the
processes in the process group
pgrp or to the processes' own process
group if
pgrp is equal to zero.
If
pgrp is greater than 1, it is equivalent to
kill(-pgrp,signal);
The value returned is -1 on error, or 0 for success.
Errors are returned in
errno and can be one of the following:
- EINVAL
- for an invalid signal,
- EPERM
- if the userid of the calling process is not equal to that
of the process the signal is sent to, and the userid is not that of the
superuser.
- ESRCH
- for a process group which does not exist, and
POSIX
kill(2),
signal(2),
signal(7)
