+== NAME
+
+setsid - run a program in a new session
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+*setsid* [options] _program_ [_arguments_]

+Set the controlling terminal to the current one.
+
+*-f*, *--fork*::
+Always create a new process.
+
+*-w*, *--wait*::
+Wait for the execution of the program to end, and return the exit status of this program as the exit status of *setsid*.
+
+*-V*, *--version*::
+Display version information and exit.
+
