💖 PGFIND(9) — Kernel Developer's Manual 💖

okay bestie, this is the PGFIND(9) page from the Kernel Developer's Manual, and it’s literally about locating a process group by number. tiny page, main character energy, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pgfind — locate a process group by number

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/proc.h>

struct pgrp *
pgfind(pid_t pgid);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so pgfind() takes a pgid as its argument and returns a pointer to the pgrp structure whose pg_id is specified in the argument. it’s giving “find that process group” fr fr.

and bestie, important detail: pgfind() locks the pgrp structure that is returned. 🔒✨

🦋 RETURN VALUES 🦋

• pgfind() returns NULL on failure.
• on successful completion, it returns a pointer to a pgrp structure.

like, either you get the pointer or you get NULL. simple. iconic. periodt.
