<b>NOTE</b>:
NuttX does not support a FULL POSIX signalling system.
Standard signals like SIGCHLD, SIGINTR, SIGKILL, etc. do not exist in NuttX and sending those signal may not have the result that you expect.
Rather, NuttX supports only what are referred to as POSIX real-time signals.
These signals may be used to communicate with running tasks, may be use to waiting waiting tasks, etc.
But, as an example, <code>kill -9</code> (SIGKILL) will not terminate a task.
