>Description:
SYNOPSIS
1) kill [-s signal_name] pid ...
2) kill -l [exit_status]
3) kill -signal_name pid ...
4) kill -signal_number pid ...
The first form doesn't seem to work:
quartz# kill -s HUP 1
s: Unknown signal; kill -l lists signals.
so might as well be removed from the manpage as everyone uses 3) or 4) anyway.
