Summary |
0001245: getpgrp RATIONALE refers to getpgid as "XSI extension" |
Description |
The RATIONALE section of getpgrp refers to getpgid as an "XSI extension". However this is incorrect because getpgid has been made mandatory in issue 7. |
Desired Action |
On page 1069 lines 36344-36347 section getpgrp, change:4.3 BSD provides a getpgrp( ) 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 getpgrp( ) suffices, and the added
complexity of the 4.3 BSD getpgrp( ) is provided by the XSI extension getpgid( ). to 4.3 BSD provides a getpgrp( ) function that returns the process group ID for a specified process.
