NAME
       killpg - send a signal to a process group
SYNOPSIS
       #include <signal.h>
       int killpg(pid_t pgrp, int sig);

DESCRIPTION
       The killpg() function shall send the signal specified  by  sig  to  the
       process group specified by pgrp.
       If  pgrp  is  greater  than 1, killpg(pgrp, sig) shall be equivalent to
       kill(-pgrp, sig). If pgrp is less than or equal to 1, the  behavior  of
       killpg() is undefined.
