man setsid, & read sections 9.5 & 9.6 in APUE.
In short, call setsid(), and then open what you want to become your
controlling terminal. If you need to open something else first, specify
O_NOCTTY in open(). This is implied by POSIX as POSIX includes O_NOCTTY. I
don't know if it's explicit or not.
In BSDish systems, you have to explicitly invoke TIOCSCTTY.
What did we do before Stevens published APUE? (Use the Source, Luke!) All
praise Stevens! :)
