pvm_kill
Terminates a specified PVM process.
Calling Sequence
[infos] = pvm_kill(tids)
Arguments
- tids
row of integer, task identifier of the PVM process to be killed (not yourself).
- infos
row of integer, status code returned by the routine. Values less than zero indicate an error.
Description
pvm_kill
sends a terminate (SIGTERM) signal
to the PVM process identified by tids.
In the case of multiprocessors the terminate signal is replaced with a host dependent method for killing a process.
The array infos
can be checked to determine the status for each process.
Values less than zero indicate an error,
while zero values indicate a success.
pvm_kill is not designed to kill the calling process.
To kill yourself in C call pvm_exit()
followed by quit().
