SYNOPSIS

10       C    int info = pvm_kill( int tid )
11
12       Fortran   call pvmfkill( tid, info )

PARAMETERS

16       tid     Integer  task  identifier  of the PVM process to be killed (not
17               yourself).
18
19       info    Integer status code returned by the routine.  Values less  than
20               zero indicate an error.

DESCRIPTION

24       The  routine  pvm_kill  sends  a  terminate (SIGTERM) signal to the PVM
25       process identified by tid.  In the case of multiprocessors  the  termi‐
26       nate  signal  is  replaced  with  a host dependent method for killing a
27       process.  If pvm_kill is successful, info will  be  0.  If  some  error
28       occurs then info will be < 0.
29
30       pvm_kill is not designed to kill the calling process.  To kill yourself
31       in C call pvm_exit() followed by exit().  To kill yourself  in  Fortran
32       call pvmfexit followed by stop.

45
46       PvmBadParam
47              giving an invalid tid value.
