killpg

SYNOPSIS
       #include <signal.h>

       int killpg(pid_t pgrp, int sig);


DESCRIPTION
       The  killpg()  function  shall  send the signal specified by sig to the
       process group specified by pgrp.

       If pgrp is greater than 1, killpg(pgrp, sig)  shall  be  equivalent  to
       kill(-pgrp, sig).  If  pgrp is less than or equal to 1, the behavior of
       killpg() is undefined.
