+.SH NAME
+setpgrp
+\(em set the process group ID
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <unistd.h>
+.P
+pid_t setpgrp(void);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+If the calling process is not already a session leader,
+\fIsetpgrp\fR()
+sets the process group ID of the calling process to the process ID of
+the calling process. If
+\fIsetpgrp\fR()
+creates a new session, then the new session has no controlling
+terminal.
+.P
+The
+\fIsetpgrp\fR()
+function has no effect when the calling process is a session leader.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon completion,
+\fIsetpgrp\fR()
+shall return the process group ID.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+It is unspecified whether this function behaves as
+.IR setpgid (0,0)
+or
+\fIsetsid\fR()
+unless the process is already a session leader. Therefore, applications
+are encouraged to use
+\fIsetpgid\fR()
+or
+\fIsetsid\fR()
+as appropriate.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+The
+\fIsetpgrp\fR()
+function may be removed in a future version.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
