28.Dt TCSETSID 3
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm tcsetsid
32.Nd set session ID associated with a controlling terminal
33.Sh LIBRARY
34.Lb libc
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In sys/types.h
37.In termios.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn tcsetsid "int fd" "pid_t pid"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn tcsetsid
43function sets associates a session identified by
44.Fa pid
45with a controlling terminal specified by
46.Fa fd .
47.Pp
48This implementation only allows the controlling terminal to be changed
49by the session leader itself.
50This implies that
51.Fa pid
52always has to be equal to the process ID.
53.Pp
54It is unsupported to associate with a terminal that already has an
55associated session.
56Conversely, it is also unsupported to associate to a terminal when
57the session is already associated with a different terminal.
58.Sh ERRORS
59If an error occurs,
60.Fn tcsetsid
61returns -1 and the global variable
62.Va errno
63is set to indicate the error, as follows:
64.Bl -tag -width Er
65.It Bq Er EBADF
66The
67.Fa fd
68argument is not a valid file descriptor.
69.It Bq Er ENOTTY
70The file descriptor represented by
71.Fa fd
72is not a terminal.
73.It Bq Er EINVAL
74The
75.Fa pid
76argument is not equal to the session ID of the calling process.
77.It Bq Er EPERM
78The calling process is not a session leader.
79.It Bq Er EPERM
80The session already has an associated terminal or the terminal already
81has an associated session.
