              be sent

       --ll, ----lliisstt

              to/from numbers

       ----vveerrssiioonn

       SIGNAL may be a signal name like `HUP', or a signal
       number like `1', or an exit status of a process
       terminated by a signal.  PID is an integer; if negative
       it identifies a process group.

       NOTE: your shell may have its own version of kill, which
       usually super‐ sedes  the  version described here.
       Please refer to your shell's docu‐ mentation for
       details about the options it supports.
