pvm_kill — Terminates a specified PVM process.
[infos] = pvm_kill(tids)
row of integer, task identifier of the PVM process to be killed (not yourself).
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().
