Description:

The posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() function gets the value of the process group attribute from the attributes object pointed to by attrp, and stores it in the object pointed to by pid_p. You must have already initialized the spawn attributes object by calling posix_spawnattr_init() .

This attribute represents the process group to be joined by the new process image in a spawn operation if POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP is set in the spawn flags; to set this flag, call the POSIX function posix_spawnattr_setflags() , or the QNX Neutrino function posix_spawnattr_setxflags() . The default value of the process group attribute is zero.

You can use posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() . to set it.

For more information about spawn attributes, see the entry for posix_spawn() .

Returns:

EOK

Success

EINVAL

The value specified by attrp or pid_p was invalid.
