## Name

disown - disown a child process

## Synopsis

```**c++
#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.
Kernel+LibC: Add sys$disown() for disowning child processes This syscall allows a parent process to disown a child process, setting its parent PID to 0. Unparented processes are automatically reaped by the kernel upon exit, and no sys$waitid() is required. This will make it much nicer to do spawn-and-forget which is common in the GUI environment. 2020-08-04 13:51:11 +02:00			`## Name`
