Author: ed Date: Thu Mar 15 11:49:26 2012 New Revision: 233002 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/233002 Log: Remove impossible error condition from the man page. On FreeBSD, all processes have a process group, so it is impossible for kill(2) to fail this way. POSIX also doesn't mention this error condition.
