kill()函數 Unix/Linux
內容簡介
#include <sys/types.h> #include <signal.h> int kill(pid_t pid, int sig); |
描述
kill() 係統調用可以用來發送任何信號，任何進程組或進程。If pid is positive, then signal sig is sent to pid.
If pid equals 0, then sig is sent to every process in the process group of the current process.
If pid equals -1, then sig is sent to every process for which the calling process has permission to send signals, except for process 1 (init), but see below.
If pid is less than -1, then sig is sent to every process in the process group -pid.
If sig is 0, then no signal is sent, but error checking is still performed.
For a process to have permission to send a signal it must either be privileged (under Linux: have the CAP_KILL capability), or the real or effective user ID of the sending process must equal the real or saved set-user-ID of the target process. In the case of SIGCONT it suffices when the sending and receiving processes belong to the same session.
返回值
On success (at least one signal was sent), zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.錯誤
| 標簽 | 描述 |
|---|---|
| EINVAL | An invalid signal was specified. |
| EPERM | The process does not have permission to send the signal to any of the target processes. |
| ESRCH | The pid or process group does not exist. Note that an existing process might be a zombie, a process which already committed termination, but has not yet been wait()ed for. |
注意
可發送任務一把手，init進程的唯一信號，是那些已經初始化安裝了明確的信號處理程序。這樣做是為了保證係統不放倒意外。POSIX.1-2001 requires that kill(-1,sig) send sig to all processes that the current process may send signals to, except possibly for some implementation-defined system processes. Linux allows a process to signal itself, but on Linux the call kill(-1,sig) does not signal the current process.
POSIX.1-2001 requires that if a process sends a signal to itself, and the sending thread does not have the signal blocked, and no other thread has it unblocked or is waiting for it in sigwait(), at least one unblocked signal must be delivered to the sending thread before the kill().
