the signal is sent to all other processes in the
sender's process group;
see
.IR tty (4).

If the process number is \-1, and the user is the super-user,
the signal is broadcast universally
except to processes 0 and 1, the scheduler
and initialization processes,
see
.IR init (8).

Processes may send signals to themselves.

does not exist.
