KILL
Portability Function: Sends a signal to the process given by ID.
Module
USE IFPORT
result = KILL (pid,signum)
pid |
(Input) INTEGER(4). ID of a process to be signaled. |
signum |
(Input) INTEGER(4). A signal value. For the definition of signal values, see the SIGNALfunction. |
Results
The result type is INTEGER(4). The result is zero if the call was successful; otherwise, an error code. Possible error codes are:
EINVAL: The signum is not a valid signal number, or PID is not the same as getpid( ) and signum does not equal SIGKILL.
ESRCH: The given PID could not be found.
EPERM: The current process does not have permission to send a signal to the process given by PID.
On Windows* systems, arbitrary signals can be sent only to the calling process (where pid= getpid( )). Other processes can send only the SIGKILL signal ( signum= 9), and only if the calling process has permission.
Example
USE IFPORT
integer(4) id_number, sig_val, istat
id_number=getpid( )
ISTAT = KILL (id_number, sig_val)
