The glibc manual, I assume:

 `The `setsid' function returns the new process group ID of the
 calling process if successful.  A return value of `-1' indicates an
 error.  The following `errno' error conditions are defined for this
 function:'

And I would assume the prototype has a pid_t as return type, but I
haven't studied the sourcecode of the Hurd to look that up.
