# PXFKILL

POSIX Subroutine: Sends a signal to a specified process.

## Module

USE IFPOSIX

CALL PXFKILL (ipid,isig,ierror)

ipid | (Input) INTEGER(4). The process to kill. It is determined by one of the following values:
> 0 | Kills the specific process.
< 0 | Kills all processes in the group.
== 0 | Kills all processes in the group except special processes.
== pid_t-1 | Kills all processes.
isig | (Input) INTEGER(4). The value of the signal to be sent.
ierror | (Output) INTEGER(4). The error status.

If successful, ierror is set to zero; otherwise, an error code.

The PXFKILL subroutine sends a signal with value isig to a specified process. On Windows* systems, only the ipid for the current process can be used.
