_ILEKILL()--Send ILE Signal for i5/OS PASE

Syntax

 #include <as400_protos.h>

 int _ILEKILL(pid_t pid,
              int   signo);

  Default Public Authority: *USE

  Library: Standard C Library (libc.a)

  Threadsafe: No

Note: This function can only be used in an i5/OS PASE program. See i5/OS PASE for more information about creating i5/OS PASE programs.

The _ILEKILL invokes the ILE kill function to send an ILE signal to a process or process group.

pid: (Input) Specifies the identifier of a process or process group. See documentation for the ILE kill()--Send Signal to Process or Group of Processes function for more information.

signo: (Input) Specifies the signal to send. A signo value greater than zero is interpreted as an AIX signal number that the system converts to an equalent ILE signal number. For example, the AIX signal number for SIGTERM (15) is converted to the ILE signal number for SIGTERM (6). AIX signals that have no ILE equivalent return an error.
A signo value less than zero is negated to determine the ILE signal number, and signo zero simply checks that the target process or process group exists.

See documentation for the ILE kill()--Send Signal to Process or Group of Processes function for information about required authorities.

_ILEKILL returns zero for normal completion, or -1 wih an errno for any error.

See ILE kill()--Send Signal to Process or Group of Processes for more information about error conditions.
