kill is a word we normally use to mean murder. ;)

In the UNIX world we often use it to destroy wayward processes.

We also use it to send signals like SIGINFO.

$ pkill -INFO dd

$ kill -l
1    HUP Hangup                        17   STOP Suspended (signal)
2    INT Interrupt                     18   TSTP Suspended
3   QUIT Quit                          19   CONT Continued

Which shell are you using? Bash completion is not displaying those
numbers.

Thanks and Regards
