+.Fn killpg "pid_t pgrp" "int sig"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn killpg
+sends the signal

+to the process group
+.Fa pgrp .
+See
+.Xr sigaction 2
+for a list of signals.
+If
+.Fa pgrp
+is 0,
+.Fn killpg
+sends the signal to the sending process's process group.
+.Pp
+The sending process and members of the process group must
+have the same effective user ID, or
+the sender must be the super-user.
+As a single special case the continue signal SIGCONT may be sent
+to any process that is a descendant of the current process.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
+Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and the global variable
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn killpg
+will fail and no signal will be sent if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+.Fa sig
+is not a valid signal number.
+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+No process can be found in the process group specified by
+.Fa pgrp .
+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+The process group was given as 0
+but the sending process does not have a process group.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The sending process is not the super-user and one or more
+of the target processes has an effective user ID different from that
+of the sending process.
