πŸ’– kill(1) β€” send signals to processes, bestie πŸ’–

okay so this is kill(1) from the General Commands Manual, and before you panic: no, it's not as violent as it sounds. it's just how Unix girls say "hey, process, i need to talk to you." 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

kill β€” Send signal to processes or list information about signals.

like literally that's the whole job. two moods: deliver a message or read the menu of possible messages. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kill [-l|--list] [-t|--table] [-s|--signal] [-h|--help] [-V|--version]
[pids_or_signals]

so the shape of it is: you either pass [pids_or_signals] (pids to poke, or signals to look at) or you don't and it just does its thing. every flag is optional, which is giving low-maintenance icon energy. πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Send signal to processes or list information about signals.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you point it at a process and it delivers a signal, OR you ask it nicely and it tells you everything it knows about signals. main character of process management, fr fr. πŸ’œ


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -l, --list β€” Lists signals. the "show me the menu" flag. πŸ“
  • -t, --table β€” Lists table of signals. same info, but formatted as a table, because we love a lil structure. ✨
  • -s, --signal <signal> β€” Sends given signal instead of SIGTERM. so if you don't want the default SIGTERM, you slide a different one in here. <signal> is your placeholder, bestie, fill it in. πŸ’…
  • -h, --help β€” Print help. classic. always there for you. 🌈
  • -V, --version β€” Print version. for when you gotta know which build you're on. ⭐
not me reminding you that SIGTERM is the default when you don't pass -s. that's not extra info, that's literally in the docs. 😭
