SKILL(III)                      11/16/75                      SKILL(III)

NAME
	skill - send a signal to a set of processes

SYNOPSIS
	skill(pid,sig)

DESCRIPTION

	Skill is similar to the KILL(II) system call, except that it
	sends the specified signal not only to the specified process,
	but also to all of its descendents. The youngest descendents
	receive the signal first.


DIAGNOSTICS
	Skill returns 0 upon success, -1 if the proc table can't be
	read (and thus the skill can't be done), and +1 if the skill
	was performed, but at least one of the processes to be signalled
	either wasn't found or couldn't be signalled (kill returned -1).
