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.
