Prototype

pub fn kill(pid: pid_t, sig: u8) KillError!void

Parameters

pid: pid_tsig: u8

Possible Errors

PermissionDenied

ProcessNotFound

Unexpected UnexpectedError

The Operating System returned an undocumented error code.

This error is in theory not possible, but it would be better to handle this error than to invoke undefined behavior.

When this error code is observed, it usually means the Zig Standard Library needs a small patch to add the error code to the error set for the respective function.

Source

  pub fn kill(pid: pid_t, sig: u8) KillError!void {
    switch (errno(system.kill(pid, sig))) {
        .SUCCESS => return,
        .INVAL => unreachable, // invalid signal
        .PERM => return error.PermissionDenied,
        .SRCH => return error.ProcessNotFound,
        else => |err| return unexpectedErrno(err),
    }
