Processes are organized into _process groups_.
Process groups are used to control access to terminals and to provide a means of distributing signals to collections of related processes.
A process inherits its process group from its parent process.
-Mechanisms are provided by the kernel to allow a process to alter its process group or the process group of its descendents.
+Mechanisms are provided by the kernel to allow a process to alter its process group or the process group of its descendants.
Creating a new process group is easy; the value of a new process group is ordinarily the process identifier of the creating process.
The group of processes in a process group is sometimes referred to as a _job_ and is manipulated by high-level system software, such as the shell.
