- process_kill(+PID) is det
- process_kill(+PID, +Signal) is det
- Send signal to process PID. Default is
term
. Signal is an
integer, Unix signal name (e.g. SIGSTOP
) or the more Prolog
friendly variation one gets after removing SIG
and downcase
the result: stop
. On Windows systems, Signal is ignored and
the process is terminated using the TerminateProcess() API. On
Windows systems PID must be obtained from process_create/3,
while any PID is allowed on Unix systems.
- Compatibility
- - SICStus does not accept the prolog friendly version. We
choose to do so for compatibility with on_signal/3.
