POSIX Subroutine: Sends a signal to a specified process.

Module: USE IFPOSIX

Syntax

CALL PXFKILL (ipid, isig, ierror)

ipid
(Input) INTEGER(4). The process to kill. It is determined by one of the following values:


> 0     Kills the specific process.
< 0     Kills all processes in the group.
== 0     Kills all processes in the group except special processes.
== pid_t-1     Kills all processes.

isig
(Input) INTEGER(4). The value of the signal to be sent.


ierror
(Output) INTEGER(4). The error status.

If successful, ierror is set to zero; otherwise, an error code.

The PXFKILL subroutine sends a signal with value isig to a specified process. On Windows* systems, only the ipid for the current process can be used.
