calls TerminateProcess (amongst others), which force-closes all handles and threads. The MSDN API ref says "TerminateProcess initiates termination and returns immediately. This stops execution of all threads within the process and requests cancellation of all pending I/O.
Terminate the process. When no signal is included in the kill command-line syntax, the default signal that is used is –15 (SIGKILL). Using the –9 signal (SIGTERM) with the kill command ensures that the process terminates promptly.
The kill command sends a signal (by default, the SIGTERM signal) to a running process. This default action normally stops processes.
To verify that the process has been killed, run the pidof command and you will not be able to view the PID. In the above example, the number 9 is the signal number for the SIGKILL signal.
If your Linux kernel is compiled with the process accounting (CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACT) option enabled, you can start recording process accounting info using the accton(8) command and use sa(8) to access the recorded info. The recorded information includes the 32 bit exit code which includes the signal number.
(This stuff is not widely known / used these days, but I still remember it from the days of 4.x Bsd on VAXes ...)
