NAME
     kill - send signals to processes, or list signals

SYNOPSIS
     kill [-s SIGNAL | -SIGNAL] PID...
     kill -l [SIGNAL]...
     kill -t [SIGNAL]...

DESCRIPTION
     Send signals to processes, or list signals.

     Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for  short
     options too.

     -s, --signal=SIGNAL, -SIGNAL

          specify the name or number of the signal to be sent

     -l, --list
          list signal names,  or  convert  signal  names  to/from
          numbers

     -t, --table
          print a table of signal information

     --help
          display this help and exit

     --version

     SIGNAL may be a signal name like `HUP', or a  signal  number
     like  `1',  or  the exit status of a process terminated by a
     signal.  PID is an integer; if negative it identifies a pro-
     cess group.

     NOTE: your shell may have its own  version  of  kill,  which
     usually supersedes the version described here.  Please refer
     to your shell's documentation for details about the  options
     it supports.
