setpgid

Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list

long setpgid(pid_t pid, pid_t pgid);
Number (x86-64) 109
ABI common
Kernel entry point sys_setpgid

This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.

Sets the process group id of a process.

Name Type Meaning
pid (arg0) pid_t Process or thread id.
pgid (arg1) pid_t Process group id.

On success: 0.

In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.

Raw return Name Meaning
-13 EACCES Permission denied.
-1 EPERM The operation is not permitted for this process.
-3 ESRCH No such process or thread.

setpgid(2) on man7.org

Coverage mark: Implemented. All arguments are plain values, recorded as the raw argument words at entry. There is no pointee to copy and no known gap.

Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).

Argument When How Recorded field key Condition
pid (arg0) Entry raw scalar word args.0, args.pid
pgid (arg1) Entry raw scalar word args.1, args.pgid
  • Result: ret, syscall.errno, syscall.success, syscall.duration_ns.
  • Argument words: args.pid (arg0), args.pgid (arg1); args.0 to args.5 by position.

See Syscall Trace filter for the full syntax.
