[Bug 1488939] Re: kill -L behaviour (is it a doc or code error?)

[Robie Basak]

(I understand that if procps' documentation did not match behaviour that
would certainly be more important, but it turns out that it's really
just a mismatch between bash's builtin and procps' documentation and
behaviour, which is certainly a papercut level UX issue but not so
obviously a bug)

  kill -L behaviour (is it a doc or code error?)

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:

Bug description:
  $man kill
  [...]
         -L, --table
                List signal names in a nice table.
  [...Examples section]
         kill -L
                List the available signal choices in a nice table.

  I'm not sure if it is a doc or code error, but the actual behaviour is
  not what the doc describes...
