Digital UNIX Diffs - kill(5)			  Digital UNIX Diffs - kill(5)

NAME
       kill -  Sends a signal to a process or to a group of processes

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <signal.h>
       int kill(
	       pid_t process,
	       int signal );

PARAMETERS
       Specifies  the process or group of processes.  Specifies the signal. If
       the signal parameter is a value of 0 (the null signal), error  checking
       is  performed  but  no  signal  is  sent. This can be used to check the
       validity of the process parameter.

DIFFERENCES
       vms-process(5): OpenVMS Process Model Differences

       kill(2) on OpenVMS will send a signal to a specific process.   On  UNIX
       kill(2)	can send a signal to a specific process, to all process on the
       system with the same group ID, to all processes on the system (provided
       you  are	 root), or to all processes in with a specific group ID.  UNIX
       also supports testing the validity of  the  process  parameter  without
       actually	 sending a signal.  This is done by setting the signal parameā€
       ter to 0.
