# 216629 21-Dec-2010 jilles

sh: Add kill builtin.

This allows specifying a %job (which is equivalent to the corresponding
process group).

Additionally, it improves reliability of kill from sh in high-load
situations and ensures "kill" finds the correct utility regardless of PATH,
as required by POSIX (unless the undocumented %builtin mechanism is used).

Side effect: fatal errors (any error other than kill(2) failure) now return
exit status 2 instead of 1. (This is consistent with other sh builtins, but
not in NetBSD.)

Code size increases about 1K on i386.

# 167196 04-Mar-2007 ru

Fix markup.


# 140353 16-Jan-2005 ru

Add the new standard EXIT STATUS section where appropriate.
Sort standard sections in the (documented) preferred order.


# 139969 10-Jan-2005 imp

/*- or .\"- or #- to begin license clauses.


# 131505 02-Jul-2004 ru

Deal with double whitespace.


# 127958 06-Apr-2004 markm

Remove clause 3 from the UCB licenses.

OK'ed by: imp, core


# 98161 13-Jun-2002 tjr

Markup nits: use the Ar macro when describing the -signal_name and
-signal_number options, and for referring to the "pid" argument.


# 98160 13-Jun-2002 tjr

Add examples and diagnostics sections


# 97772 03-Jun-2002 tjr

Correct history (again): V3 had a kill command, only it was in section 8,
not 1.


# 97767 03-Jun-2002 tjr

Correct History section: kill(1) appeared in V4, not V6.


# 68935 20-Nov-2000 ru

mdoc(7) police: use the new features of the Nm macro.


# 51275 14-Sep-1999 sheldonh

Correct some hard sentence breaks. Only those surrounding the previous
commit and those which cause ugly nroff output have been fixed, since
the purpose of the style guideline which they contravene is to reduce
the sizes of deltas.

# 51090 08-Sep-1999 sheldonh

Improve shell documentation:

* Consistently misspell built-in as builtin.

* Add a builtin(1) manpage and create builtin(1) MLINKS for all shell
builtin commands for which no standalone utility exists. These MLINKS
replace those that were created for csh(1).

* Add appropriate xrefs for builtin(1) to the csh(1) and sh(1) manpages,
as well as to the manpages of standalone utilities which are supported
as shell builtin commands in at least one of the shells. In such
manpages, explain that similar functionality may be provided as a
shell builtin command.

* Improve sh(1)'s description of the cd builtin command. Csh(1) already
describes it adequately. Replace the cd(1) manpage with a builtin(1)
MLINKS link.

* Clean up some mdoc problems: use Xr instead of literal "foo(n)"; use
Ic instead of Xr for shell builtin commands.

* Undo English contractions.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
