pvm_kill — Terminates a specified PVM process.
[infos] = pvm_kill(tids)
| tids | : row of integer, task identifier of the PVM process to be killed (not yourself). |
| infos | : row of integer, status code returned by the routine. Values less than zero indicate an error. |
pvm_kill sends a terminate (SIGTERM) signal to the PVM process identified by tids.
In the case of multiprocessors the terminate signal is replaced with a host dependent method for killing a process.
The array infos can be checked to determine the status for each process. Values less than zero indicate an error, while zero values indicate a success.
pvm_kill is not designed to kill the calling process. To kill yourself in C call pvm_exit() followed by quit().
