disown - disown a child process

Synopsis

#include <serenity.h>

int disown(pid_t pid);

Description

disown() unparents a child process of the calling process. The child's parent PID is set to zero, which allows the kernel to automatically reap it upon death.

Pledge

In pledged programs, the proc promise is required for this system call.

Errors

• ESRCH: No process with PID pid was found.
• ECHILD: The target process is not a child of the calling process.
