       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _t_c_g_e_t_p_g_r_p() function shall return the value of the process group ID
       of the foreground process group associated with the terminal.

       If there is no foreground process group, _t_c_g_e_t_p_g_r_p() shall return a
       value greater than 1 that does not match the process group ID of any
       existing process group.

       The _t_c_g_e_t_p_g_r_p() function is allowed from a process that is a member of
       a background process group; however, the information may be
       subsequently changed by a process that is a member of a foreground
       process group.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       Upon successful completion, _t_c_g_e_t_p_g_r_p() shall return the value of the
       process group ID of the foreground process associated with the
       terminal. Otherwise, -1 shall be returned and _e_r_r_n_o set to indicate the
       error.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _t_c_g_e_t_p_g_r_p() function shall fail if:
