+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR killpg ()
+sends the signal
+.I sig
+to the process group
+.IR pgrp .
+See
+.BR signal (7)
+for a list of signals.
+.P
+If
+.I pgrp
+is 0,
+.BR killpg ()
+sends the signal to the calling process's process group.
+(POSIX says: if
+.I pgrp
+is less than or equal to 1, the behavior is undefined.)
+.P
+For the permissions required to send a signal to another process, see
+.BR kill (2).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success, zero is returned.
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I sig
+is not a valid signal number.
+.TP
+.B EPERM
+The process does not have permission to send the signal
+to any of the target processes.
+For the required permissions, see
+.BR kill (2).
+.TP
+.B ESRCH
+No process can be found in the process group specified by
+.IR pgrp .
+.TP
+.B ESRCH
+The process group was given as 0 but the sending process does not
+have a process group.
+.SH VERSIONS
+There are various differences between the permission checking
+in BSD-type systems and System\ V-type systems.
+See the POSIX rationale for
+.BR kill (3p).
+A difference not mentioned by POSIX concerns the return
+value
+.BR EPERM :
+BSD documents that no signal is sent and
+.B EPERM
+returned when the permission check failed for at least one target process,
+while POSIX documents
+.B EPERM
+only when the permission check failed for all target processes.
+.SS C library/kernel differences
+On Linux,
+.BR killpg ()
+is implemented as a library function that makes the call
+.IR "kill(\-pgrp,\ sig)" .
+.SH STANDARDS
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001, SVr4, 4.4BSD
+(first appeared in 4BSD).
