NAME
kill - send a signal to one or more processes
SYNOPSIS
kill
[
-sig
]
pid
[
pid...
]
DESCRIPTION
Kill
sends the signal number
sig
to the processes which have the given process id's (the
process id is given as its extension on a listing of drive X:).
Usually this results in the death of the process.
If
sig
is omitted,
15 (SIGTERM) is assumed.
Some useful signal numbers are:
- 9 (SIGKILL)
-
this cannot be caught or ignored, so it is certain death for the process
- 17 (SIGSTOP)
-
stops the process
- 19 (SIGCONT)
-
forces a stopped process to continue.
IMPLEMENTATION
Built with the MiNT library, patchlevel 19.
Using a different library, or an earlier version of the
MiNT library, may or may not cause problems;
in particular, various constants defined in
<signal.h>
and
<ioctl.h>
will probably be wrong if you are not using the MiNT library.
