+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIgetpgrp\fP() function shall return the process group ID of
+the calling process.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+The \fIgetpgrp\fP() function shall always be successful and no return
+value is reserved to indicate an error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+4.3 BSD provides a \fIgetpgrp\fP() 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\fP() suffices, and the added complexity of the 4.3 BSD
+\fIgetpgrp\fP() is provided by the XSI extension \fIgetpgid\fP().
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
