pvm_kill - Terminates a specified PVM process.
Contents
Description
The routine pvm_kill sends a terminate (SIGTERM) signal to the PVM process identified by tid. In the
case of multiprocessors the terminate signal is replaced with a host dependent method for killing a
process. If pvm_kill is successful, info will be 0. If some error occurs then info will be < 0.
pvm_kill is not designed to kill the calling process. To kill yourself in C call pvm_exit() followed by
exit(). To kill yourself in Fortran call pvmfexit followed by stop.
Errors
These error conditions can be returned by pvm_kill
PvmBadParam
giving an invalid tid value.
PvmSysErr
pvmd not responding.
Examples
C:
info = pvm_kill( tid );
Fortran:
CALL PVMFKILL( TID, INFO )
Name
