Hi Mike,
I checked into your request and here is the answer I received: IBM i does
not currently support those APIs. If you would like this support added,
please submit a design change request for this new function.

Over the years, I've found that almost all of the POSIX APIs are
available via the ILE C/C++ programming language. However, in the past
few days I've ran into a few exceptions that are not documented, even
for IBM i 7.1.
These APIs include, but are not limited to, getpgid(), getsid(),
getrusage()and getpriority(). These APIs appear to be very ubiquitous
across other platforms including z/OS.
Any idea why they are not included in IBM i?
Has anyone heard rumours as to whether they are planned for a later
releases?
Mike
