SYNOPSISkill.dDESCRIPTIONkill.d is a simple DTrace program to print details of process signals
as they are sent, such as the PID source and destination, signal number
and result.
This program can be used to determine which process is sending signals
to which other process.
Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this
command.

bose descriptions explaining the output.
EXITkill.d will run forever until Ctrl-C is hit.
