Editing Kill (command) (section)

===Plan 9 from Bell Labs===
Under [[Plan 9 from Bell Labs]], the kill program does not actually perform this termination, nor does it take process IDs. Rather, it takes the actual names of processes and outputs the commands for [[Rc (Unix shell)|rc]], the [[shell (computing)|shell]] used by Plan 9, to kill the process.<ref name="plan9wiki">{{cite web

A similar command provided is called <code>slay</code>, which does the same but for processes that refuse to be killed this way.<ref name="plan9wiki" />

====Examples====
For example, to kill all instances of [[troff]], one types:

 kill troff | rc
