KILL(3PVM)			 PVM Version 3.4		      KILL(3PVM)

NAME
     pvm_kill - Terminates a specified PVM process.

SYNOPSIS
     C	  int info = pvm_kill( int tid )

     Fortran   call pvmfkill( tid, info )

PARAMETERS
     tid     Integer  task identifier of the PVM process to be killed (not your-
	     self).

     info    Integer status code returned by the routine.  Values less than zero
	     indicate an error.

DESCRIPTION
     The routine pvm_kill sends a terminate (SIGTERM) signal to the PVM  process
     identified  by tid.  In the case of multiprocessors the terminate signal is
     replaced with a host dependent method for killing a process.   If	pvm_kill
     is successful, info will be 0. If some error occurs then info will be < 0.

     pvm_kill  is not designed to kill the calling process.  To kill yourself in
     C call pvm_exit() followed by exit().  To kill  yourself  in  Fortran  call
     pvmfexit followed by stop.

EXAMPLES
     C:
	  info = pvm_kill( tid );

     Fortran:
	  CALL PVMFKILL( TID, INFO )

ERRORS
     These error conditions can be returned by pvm_kill

     PvmBadParam
	    giving an invalid tid value.

     PvmSysErr
	    pvmd not responding.

SEE ALSO
     pvm_exit(3PVM), pvm_halt(3PVM)
