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