$BUILTIN kill
$FUNCTION kill_builtin
$SHORT_DOC kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
Send a signal to a job.

Send the processes identified by PID or JOBSPEC the signal named by
SIGSPEC or SIGNUM.  If neither SIGSPEC nor SIGNUM is present, then
SIGTERM is assumed.

Options:
  -s sig	SIG is a signal name
  -n sig	SIG is a signal number
  -l	list the signal names; if arguments follow `-l' they are
		assumed to be signal numbers for which names should be listed
  -L	synonym for -l

Kill is a shell builtin for two reasons: it allows job IDs to be used
instead of process IDs, and allows processes to be killed if the limit
on processes that you can create is reached.

Exit Status:
Returns success unless an invalid option is given or an error occurs.
