killpg \- send signal to a process group
The sending process and members of the process group must
have the same effective user ID, or
the sender must be the super-user.
As a single special case the continue signal SIGCONT may be sent
to any process that is a descendant of the current process.
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise,
a value of \-1 is returned and the global variable \fIerrno\fP
is set to indicate the error.
\fIKillpg\fP will fail and no signal will be sent if any of the
\fISig\fP is not a valid signal number.
No process can be found in the process group specified by \fIpgrp\fP.
The process group was given as 0
but the sending process does not have a process group.
The sending process is not the super-user and one or more
of the target processes has an effective user ID different from that
