+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B kill
+sends the specified signal to the specified process.  If no signal is
+specified, the TERM signal is sent.  The TERM signal will kill processes
+which do not catch this signal.  For other processes, if may be necessary
+to use the KILL (9) signal, since this signal cannot be caught.
