- --gg Treat each _p_i_d as the name of a process group
- rather than a process, and send the given
- signal to the entire group.
-
- --hheellpp Print a summary of the command-line options
- and exit without sending any signals.
-
- --ll Print out a list of valid signal names and
- exit without sending any signals.
-
- --_s_i_g_n_a_l Send _s_i_g_n_a_l to the given processes. _S_i_g_n_a_l
- may be either a number or a symbolic name.
- The legal names are the same as the names
- from the <signal.h> include file, except
- without the ``SIG'' prefix. _S_i_g_n_a_l defaults
- to TTEERRMM.

- This command sends a signal (usually a SIGTERM kill signal)
- to one or more processes. Depending on how the processes
- have arranged for the signal to be handled, the processes
- may exit, enter the debugger, ignore the signal altogether,
- or execute a handler procedure within the process. In the
- default case where the SIGTERM signal is used, the normal
- result is for the process to exit. See the ssiiggvveecc manual
- page for more details on signal handling.
-
- Note: The C-shell (csh) contains a built-in command kkiillll
- that behaves almost identically to this command (it doesn't
- support the --gg or --hheellpp options, but is otherwise the same).
- If you are running the C-shell and type kkiillll, you will get
- the built-in command: to get the program version, invoke
- kkiillll by typing its absolute path name.
