    NAME

    kill - send signal to a process
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/types.h>
    
    #include <signal.h> int kill(pid_t pid, int sig);

    Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

    kill(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE  

    DESCRIPTION

    The kill() system call can be used to send any signal to any process group or process.

    If pid is positive, then signal sig is sent to the process with the ID specified by pid.

    If pid equals 0, then sig is sent to every process in the process group of the calling process.

    If pid equals -1, then sig is sent to every process for which the calling process has permission to send signals, except for process 1 (init), but see below.

    If pid is less than -1, then sig is sent to every process in the process group whose ID is -pid.

    If sig is 0, then no signal is sent, but error checking is still performed; this can be used to check for the existence of a process ID or process group ID.

    For a process to have permission to send a signal it must either be privileged (under Linux: have the CAP_KILL capability), or the real or effective user ID of the sending process must equal the real or saved set-user-ID of the target process. In the case of SIGCONT it suffices when the sending and receiving processes belong to the same session.  

    RETURN VALUE

    On success (at least one signal was sent), zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.  

    ERRORS

    EINVAL
    An invalid signal was specified.
    EPERM
    The process does not have permission to send the signal to any of the target processes.
    ESRCH
    The pid or process group does not exist. Note that an existing process might be a zombie, a process which already committed termination, but has not yet been wait(2)ed for.
     

    CONFORMING TO

    SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.  

    NOTES

    The only signals that can be sent to process ID 1, the init process, are those for which init has explicitly installed signal handlers. This is done to assure the system is not brought down accidentally.

    POSIX.1-2001 requires that kill(-1,sig) send sig to all processes that the calling process may send signals to, except possibly for some implementation-defined system processes. Linux allows a process to signal itself, but on Linux the call kill(-1,sig) does not signal the calling process.

    POSIX.1-2001 requires that if a process sends a signal to itself, and the sending thread does not have the signal blocked, and no other thread has it unblocked or is waiting for it in sigwait(3), at least one unblocked signal must be delivered to the sending thread before the kill().  

    Linux Notes

    Across different kernel versions, Linux has enforced different rules for the permissions required for an unprivileged process to send a signal to another process. In kernels 1.0 to 1.2.2, a signal could be sent if the effective user ID of the sender matched that of the receiver, or the real user ID of the sender matched that of the receiver. From kernel 1.2.3 until 1.3.77, a signal could be sent if the effective user ID of the sender matched either the real or effective user ID of the receiver. The current rules, which conform to POSIX.1-2001, were adopted in kernel 1.3.78.  

    BUGS

    In 2.6 kernels up to and including 2.6.7, there was a bug that meant that when sending signals to a process group, kill() failed with the error EPERM if the caller did have permission to send the signal to any (rather than all) of the members of the process group. Notwithstanding this error return, the signal was still delivered to all of the processes for which the caller had permission to signal.
