Tree Kill ========= Kill all processes in the process tree, including the root process. Examples ======= Kill all the descendent processes of the process with pid `1`, including the process with pid `1` itself: ```js var kill = require('tree-kill'); kill(1); ``` Send a signal other than SIGTERM.: ```js var kill = require('tree-kill'); kill(1, 'SIGKILL'); ``` Run a callback when done killing the processes. Passes an error argument if there was an error. ```js var kill = require('tree-kill'); kill(1, 'SIGKILL', function(err) { // Do things }); ``` Methods ======= ## require('tree-kill')(pid, [signal], [callback]); Sends signal `signal` to all children processes of the process with pid `pid`, including `pid`. Signal defaults to `SIGTERM`. For Linux, this uses `ps -o pid --no-headers --ppid PID` to find the parent pids of `PID`. For Darwin/OSX, this uses `pgrep -P PID` to find the parent pids of `PID`. For Windows, this uses `'taskkill /pid PID /T /F'` to kill the process tree. Note that on Windows, sending the different kinds of POSIX signals is not possible.
