kill [ -s signal_name | -n signal_number | -sig ] job ...
kill -l [ sig ... ]
       Sends  either  SIGTERM or the specified signal to the given jobs
       or processes.  Signals are given by number or by names, with  or
       without  the  `SIG'  prefix.   If  the  signal being sent is not
       `KILL' or `CONT', then the job will be sent a `CONT'  signal  if
       it  is stopped.  The argument job can be the process ID of a job
       not in the job list.  In the second form, kill -l, if sig is not
       specified the signal names are listed.  Otherwise, for each  sig
       that  is a name, the corresponding signal number is listed.  For
       each sig that is a signal number or a  number  representing  the
       exit  status  of  a process which was terminated or stopped by a
       signal the name of the signal is printed.

       On some systems, alternative signal names are allowed for a  few
       signals.  Typical examples are SIGCHLD and SIGCLD or SIGPOLL and
       SIGIO, assuming they correspond to the same signal number.  kill
       -l  will  only list the preferred form, however kill -l alt will
       show if the alternative form corresponds  to  a  signal  number.
       For example, under Linux kill -l IO and kill -l POLL both output
       29, hence kill -IO and kill -POLL have the same effect.

       Many  systems  will  allow  process IDs to be negative to kill a
       process group or zero to kill the current process group.
