    KILL(I)                       2/8/75                      KILL(I)

    NAME
         kill - terminate a process

    SYNOPSIS
         kill [ -signo ] processid ...

    DESCRIPTION
         Kills  the  specified processes.  The process number of each
         asynchronous process started with `&'  is  reported  by  the
         Shell.  Process numbers can also be found by using ps(I).

         If process number 0 is used, then all processes belonging to
         the current user and associated with the same control  type-
         writer are killed.

         The killed process must belong to the current user unless he
         is the super-user.

         If a signal number preceded by ``-'' is given as first argu-
         ment, that signal is sent instead of kill (see signal(II)).
