If \fIkillflag\fR is YES the background +job is dequeued if it has not yet been run, or is killed if it is currently +executing. The integer \fIjobcode\fR is the magic number assigned the +job by the \fBzopdpr\fR primitive. +.ih +RETURN VALUE +ERR is returned for an illegal \fIjobcode\fR or for an attempt to kill +a job without the necessary permissions. If the operations completes +successfully the exit status of the process, i.e., OK or a positive integer +error code, is returned in \fIexit_status\fR. +.ih +NOTES +The CL calls this procedure whenever it detects that a background job has +terminated, since a background job may be run as a subprocess on some systems +and since it may be necessary to perform special actions after a subprocess has +terminated. The CL also calls this procedure whenever the user \fBkills\fR a +background job, or when the user wishes to \fBwait\fR for a background job to +terminate. +.ih +SEE ALSO +zopdpr +.endhelp |
