Import unmodified NetBSD libc in trunk
This patch imports the unmodified current version of NetBSD libc. The NetBSD includes are in /nbsd_include, while the libc code itself is split between lib/nbsd_libc and common/lib/libc.

|

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.In signal.h
|
||||
.Ft int
|
||||
.Fn kill "pid_t pid" "int sig"
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn kill
|
||||
function sends the signal given by
|
||||
.Fa sig
|
||||
to
|
||||
.Fa pid ,
|
||||
a
|
||||
process or a group of processes.
|
||||
.Fa sig
|
||||
may be one of the signals specified in
|
||||
.Xr sigaction 2
|
||||
or it may be 0, in which case
|
||||
error checking is performed but no
|
||||
signal is actually sent.
|
||||
This can be used to check the validity of
|
||||
.Fa pid .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For a process to have permission to send a signal to a process designated
|
||||
by
|
||||
.Fa pid ,
|
||||
the real or effective user ID of the receiving process must match
|
||||
that of the sending process or the user must have appropriate privileges
|
||||
(such as given by a set-user-ID program or the user is the super-user).
|
||||
A single exception is the signal SIGCONT, which may always be sent
|
||||
to any descendant of the current process.
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
||||
.It \&If Fa pid No \&is greater than zero :
|
||||
.Fa sig
|
||||
is sent to the process whose ID is equal to
|
||||
.Fa pid .
|
||||
.It \&If Fa pid No \&is zero :
|
||||
.Fa sig
|
||||
is sent to all processes whose process group ID is equal
|
||||
to the process group ID of the sender, and for which the
|
||||
process has permission;
|
||||
this is a variant of
|
||||
.Xr killpg 3 .
|
||||
.It \&If Fa pid No \&is \-1 :
|
||||
If the user has super-user privileges,
|
||||
the signal is sent to all processes excluding
|
||||
system processes and the process sending the signal.
|
||||
If the user is not the super user, the signal is sent to all processes
|
||||
with the same uid as the user excluding the process sending the signal.
|
||||
No error is returned if any process could be signaled.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For compatibility with System V,
|
||||
if the process number is negative but not \-1,
|
||||
the signal is sent to all processes whose process group ID
|
||||
is equal to the absolute value of the process number.
|
||||
This is a variant of
|
||||
.Xr killpg 3 .
|
||||
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||||
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
|
||||
Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and
|
||||
.Va errno
|
||||
is set to indicate the error.
|
||||
.Sh ERRORS
|
||||
.Fn kill
|
||||
will fail and no signal will be sent if:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
||||
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
||||
.Fa sig
|
||||
is not a valid signal number.
|
||||
.It Bq Er ESRCH
|
||||
No process can be found corresponding to that specified by
|
||||
.Fa pid .
|
||||
.It Bq Er ESRCH
|
||||
The process id was given as 0
|
||||
but the sending process does not have a process group.
|
||||
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
||||
The sending process is not the super-user and its effective
|
||||
user id does not match the effective user-id of the receiving process.
|
||||
When signaling a process group, this error is returned if any members
|
||||
of the group could not be signaled.
