NAME
       kill, broke - terminate process(es)

SYNOPSIS
       kill [ -g ] [ pid ...  ] [ module ...  ]

       broke [ user ]

DESCRIPTION
       Kill  terminates each process (for a numeric process ID pid) or process
       running a given module (for a non-numeric module name),	by  writing  a
       message to the corresponding process's control file in prog(3).	The -g
       option causes kill to write a message instead, killing all processes in
       the given process's process group (see sys-pctl(2)).  Processes running
       a module are identified by their file, and the process ID of each  such
       process is printed on standard output.

       A process that incurs an exception (eg, array bounds check) is normally
       suspended in the `broken' state to allow debugging.   Broke  finds  all
       such processes owned by user (default: the current user), and prints sh
       (1) commands to kill them.  The commands can be piped to the  shell  or
       selectively  run,  releasing  back to the system any resources owned by
       those processes.
