Re: kill posix process

[Japa <greatjapa@...>]

pid = posix.fork()
    if pid == 0 then
     
        local file = io.open("archive.pdf", mode)
        local t = file:read("*all")
        
        client:send(t)
         
        file:close()
        client:close()
        -- kill or exit ???
    end

I'm trying to make a client-server, above is the code of server and when i send a archive to the client, the client doesn't finish because some reason that i don't know. That's why i trying to kill the child process, you talk about a exit(), how can i do that? os.exit? posix.exit?

Why do you want to kill it?  Why not just exit()?

Someone knows how can I kill a process in posix? I'm in a child process and I want to kill this process(kill myself)
