+.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

+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+No process can be found in the process group specified by

+.It Bq Er ESRCH
+The process group was given as 0
+but the sending process does not have a process group.
