💅 POSIX_SPAWNATTR_GETPGROUP(3) — get and set the spawn-pgroup attribute of a spawn attributes object

Hey bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual section 3 page for these two little icons. They live in the Standard C Library (libc, -lc), and honestly? They're the chillest functions you'll ever meet. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so first you gotta invite them in, like:

#include <spawn.h>

Then here's the whole cast, no cap:

int
posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr,
    pid_t *restrict pgroup);

int
posix_spawnattr_setpgroup(posix_spawnattr_t *attr, pid_t pgroup);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() is the reader bestie 💖 — it goes into the attributes object that attr points at and grabs the value of the spawn-pgroup attribute for you.

Then posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() is the writer bestie ✍️ — it sets the spawn-pgroup attribute inside an initialized attributes object that attr points at.

Now, what even is the spawn-pgroup attribute, you ask? 🧐 It represents the process group that the new process image is gonna join during a spawn operation — but only if POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP is set in the spawn-flags attribute. iykyk. And the default value of this attribute? It's zero. Literally zero. 💀

🎀 RETURN VALUES 🎀

Both posix_spawnattr_getpgroup() and posix_spawnattr_setpgroup() return zero. That's it. That's the whole vibe check. ✅ Zero. Slay. 👑
