proc_terminate

    (PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    proc_terminate — Kills a process opened by proc_open

    Description

    proc_terminate(resource $process, int $signal = 15): bool

    Signals a process (created using proc_open()) that it should terminate. proc_terminate() returns immediately and does not wait for the process to terminate.

    proc_terminate() allows you terminate the process and continue with other tasks. You may poll the process (to see if it has stopped yet) by using the proc_get_status() function.

    Parameters

    process

    The proc_open() resource that will be closed.

    signal

    This optional parameter is only useful on POSIX operating systems; you may specify a signal to send to the process using the kill(2) system call. The default is SIGTERM.

    Return Values

    Returns the termination status of the process that was run.
