Kill Signal Numbers

bjdea1 · 06-19-2007, 08:42 PM

Hi I'm using the following C function:

#include <signal.h>

int kill(pid_t pid, int sig);

This C function requires a signal number. I have read that these can vary from system to system. Is this true? If so how can you get a particular systems table of kill signal numbers?

Where can I get a generic kill signal number table?

Also can anyone tell me the "STOP" and "CONT" signal numbers?

Thanks

Try: man 7 signal
