+.SH NAME

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <unistd.h>
+.P
+pid_t getpgrp(void);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIgetpgrp\fR()
+function shall return the process group ID of the calling process.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fIgetpgrp\fR()
+function shall always be successful and no return value is reserved
+to indicate an error.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+4.3 BSD provides a
+\fIgetpgrp\fR()
+function that returns the process group ID
+for a specified process. Although this function supports job
+control, all
+known job control shells always specify the calling
+process with this function. Thus, the simpler System V
+\fIgetpgrp\fR()
+suffices, and the added complexity of the 4.3 BSD
+\fIgetpgrp\fR()
+is provided by the XSI extension
+\fIgetpgid\fR().
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
