       kill - send signals to processes, or list signals

       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

       --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 inte-
       ger; if negative it identifies a process group.

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