[det]process_kill(+PID)
[det]process_kill(+PID,
+Signal)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.
