If the process has a controlling terminal, tcsetpgrp() shall
set the foreground process group ID associated with the
terminal to pgid_id. The application shall ensure that the file
associated with fildes is the controlling terminal of
the calling process and the controlling terminal is currently associated
with the session of the calling process. The application
shall ensure that the value of pgid_id matches a process group
ID of a process in the same session as the calling
process.
Attempts to use tcsetpgrp() from a process which is a member
of a background process group on a fildes associated
with its controlling terminal shall cause the process group to be
sent a SIGTTOU signal. If the calling process is blocking or
ignoring SIGTTOU signals, the process shall be allowed to perform
the operation, and no signal is sent.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned. Otherwise, -1 shall
be returned and errno set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The tcsetpgrp() function shall fail if:
EBADF
The fildes argument is not a valid file descriptor.
EINVAL
This implementation does not support the value in the pgid_id
argument.
ENOTTY
The calling process does not have a controlling terminal, or the file
is not the controlling terminal, or the controlling
terminal is no longer associated with the session of the calling process.
EPERM
The value of pgid_id is a value supported by the implementation,
but does not match the process group ID of a process in
the same session as the calling process.
