Being a bit nit-picky: It's not sending "a" signal, but it needs to be THE signal that has been reserved for that function. This is dependent on what the programmer felt like; usually it is mentioned in the man page. Different signals can serve for different functions.

killpg
killpg(3C) Standard C Library Functions killpg(3C)
NAME
killpg - send signal to a process group
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int killpg(pid_t pgrp, int sig);
DESCRIPTION
The killpg() function sends the signal sig to the process group pgrp. See signal.h(3HEAD) for a list of signals.
The real or effective user ID of the sending process must match the real or saved set-user ID of the receiving process, unless the effec-
tive user ID of the sending process is the privileged user. A single exception is the signal SIGCONT, which may always be sent to any
descendant of the current process.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The killpg() function will fail and no signal will be sent if:
EINVAL The sig argument is not a valid signal number.
EPERM The effective user ID of the sending process is not privileged user, and neither its real nor effective user ID matches the real
or saved set-user ID of one or more of the target processes.
ESRCH No processes were found in the specified process group.
