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.
