           _K_i_l_l sends signal 15 (terminate) to the specified processes.
           This will normally kill processes that do not catch or
           ignore the signal.  The process number of each asynchronous
           process started with &&&& is reported by the Shell.  Process
           numbers can also be found by using _p_s(1).

           The details of the kill are described in _k_i_l_l(2).  For
           example, if process number 0 is specified, all processes in
           the process group are signaled.

           The killed process must belong to the current user unless he
           is the super-user.

           If a signal number preceded by ---- is given as first argument,
           that signal is sent instead of terminate (see _s_i_g_n_a_l(2)).
           In particular ``kill -9 ...'' is a sure kill.
