Function: signal-process

signal-process is an interactive function defined in process.c.

Signature

(signal-process PROCESS SIGCODE &optional REMOTE)

Documentation

Send PROCESS the signal with code SIGCODE.

PROCESS may also be a number specifying the process id of the process to signal; in this case, the process need not be a child of this Emacs. If PROCESS is a process object which contains the property remote-pid, or PROCESS is a number and REMOTE is a remote file name, PROCESS is interpreted as process on the respective remote host, which will be the process to signal. If PROCESS is a string, it is interpreted as process object with the respective process name, or as a number. SIGCODE may be an integer, or a symbol whose name is a signal name.
