# killPid method

bool killPid (int pid, [ ProcessSignal signal = ProcessSignal.sigterm ])

Kills the process with id `pid`.

Where possible, sends the `signal` to the process with id `pid`. This includes Linux and OS X. The default signal is ProcessSignal.sigterm which will normally terminate the process.

On platforms without signal support, including Windows, the call just terminates the process with id `pid` in a platform specific way, and the `signal` parameter is ignored.

Returns `true` if the signal is successfully delivered to the process. Otherwise the signal could not be sent, usually meaning that the process is already dead.

## Implementation

    external static bool killPid(int pid,
        [ProcessSignal signal = ProcessSignal.sigterm]);
