KILL(2)                       System Calls Manual                      KILL(2)



NAME
       kill - send signal to a process

SYNOPSIS
       kill(pid, sig)

DESCRIPTION
       Kill  sends the signal sig to the process specified by the process num‐
       ber by pid.  See signal(2) for a list of signals.

       The sending and receiving processes must have the same  effective  user
       ID, otherwise this call is restricted to the super-user.

       If  the  process number is 0, the signal is sent to all other processes
       in the sender's process group; see ttyld(4).

       If the process number is -1, and the user is the super-user, the signal
       is  broadcast universally except to processes 0, 1 and 2, the scheduler
       initialization, and pageout processes, see init(8).

       Processes may send signals to themselves.

SEE ALSO
       signal(2), kill(1)

DIAGNOSTICS
       Zero is returned if the process  is  killed;  -1  is  returned  if  the
       process  does  not  have the same effective user ID and the user is not
       super-user, or if the process does not exist.
