[Bug 1065972] Re: Man page of command "kill" is wrong

[Jonas Björk]

I am the original poster, and it is confirmed that I was using the bash
built in kill.

$ kill -L
bash: kill: L: invalid signal specification

$ /bin/kill -L
 1 HUP      2 INT      3 QUIT     4 ILL      5 TRAP     6 ABRT     7 BUS
 8 FPE      9 KILL    10 USR1    11 SEGV    12 USR2    13 PIPE    14 ALRM
15 TERM    16 STKFLT  17 CHLD    18 CONT    19 STOP    20 TSTP    21 TTIN
22 TTOU    23 URG     24 XCPU    25 XFSZ    26 VTALRM  27 PROF    28 WINCH
29 POLL    30 PWR     31 SYS  

This bug is not a bug, but a misunderstanding. The bug could be closed.

Title:
  Man page of command "kill" is wrong

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  `man kill` gives:

  	kill [ -L | -V, --version ]
  	...
  	Use -l or -L to list available signals.
  	...
  	kill -L
  	  List the available signal choices in a nice table.
  	...
  	STANDARDS
  	  This command meets appropriate standards. The -L flag is Linux-specific.

  Man page shortened above for space reasons.

  When I try to give `kill` the `-L` parameter I get:

  	$ kill -L
  	bash: kill: L: invalid signal specification

  So it seems that `-L` is not implemented?
