#Name

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.
