Ende.kill

function · requires --allow-run

function Ende.kill(pid: number, signo?: Signal | number): void

Send a signal to process under given pid. The value and meaning of the signal to the process is operating system and process dependant. Signal provides the most common signals. Default signal is "SIGTERM".

The term kill is adopted from the UNIX-like command line command kill which also signals processes.

If pid is negative, the signal will be sent to the process group identified by pid. An error will be thrown if a negative pid is used on Windows.

const command = new Ende.Command("sleep", { args: ["10000"] });
const child = command.spawn();

Ende.kill(child.pid, "SIGINT");

As a special case, a signal of 0 can be used to test for the existence of a process.

Requires allow-run permission.
