+.SH NAME
+fg
+\(em run jobs in the foreground
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+fg \fB[\fIjob_id\fB]\fR
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+If job control is enabled (see the description of
+.IR set
+.BR \-m ),
+the
+.IR fg
+utility shall move a background job from the current environment (see
+.IR "Section 2.12" ", " "Shell Execution Environment")
+into the foreground.
+.P
+Using
+.IR fg
+to place a job into the foreground shall remove its process ID from the
+list of those ``known in the current shell execution environment''; see
+.IR "Section 2.9.3.1" ", " "Examples".
+.SH OPTIONS
+None.
+.SH OPERANDS
+The following operand shall be supported:
+.IP "\fIjob_id\fR" 10
+Specify the job to be run as a foreground job. If no
+.IR job_id
+operand is given, the
+.IR job_id
+for the job that was most recently suspended, placed in the background,
+or run as a background job shall be used. The format of
+.IR job_id
+is described in the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 3.204" ", " "Job Control Job ID".
+.SH STDIN
+Not used.
+.SH "INPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+.IR fg :
+.IP "\fILANG\fP" 10
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
+unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables"
+for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
+text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
+multi-byte characters in arguments).
+.IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10
+.br
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
+.IP "\fINLSPATH\fP" 10
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
+.IR LC_MESSAGES .
+.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+The
+.IR fg
+utility shall write the command line of the job to standard output
+in the following format:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+"%s\en", <\fIcommand\fR>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.SH STDERR
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH "OUTPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
+None.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.IP "\00" 6
+Successful completion.
+.IP >0 6
+An error occurred.
+.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS"
+If job control is disabled, the
+.IR fg
+utility shall exit with an error and no job shall be placed in the
+foreground.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The
+.IR fg
+utility does not work as expected when it is operating in its own
+utility execution environment because that environment has no
+applicable jobs to manipulate. See the APPLICATION USAGE section for
+.IR "\fIbg\fR\^".
+For this reason,
+.IR fg
+is generally implemented as a shell regular built-in.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+The extensions to the shell specified in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 have mostly been based
+on features provided by the KornShell. The job control features
+provided by
+.IR bg ,
+.IR fg ,
+and
+.IR jobs
+are also based on the KornShell. The standard developers examined the
+characteristics of the C shell versions of these utilities and found
+that differences exist. Despite widespread use of the C shell, the
+KornShell versions were selected for this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 to maintain a degree of
+uniformity with the rest of the KornShell features selected (such as
+the very popular command line editing features).
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
