Port kill(1), fix signal names in timeout(1) #39

Closed q66 closed 2 years ago

q66 commented 2 years ago

Depends on (and includes) https://github.com/dcantrell/bsdutils/pull/38.

This ports kill(1). While doing this, I have also found that in timeout(1) the conversion from sys_signame to strsignal was wrong because strsignal does not really return what we want it to return (it returns human-readable names). Therefore, import public-domain code to handle this (as there is no portable way to do it otherwise). This is needed in both kill(1) and timeout(1).

The pull requests are getting chunky and my other work largely depends on these, so let's deal with these four first.
