proc_close - Close a process opened byproc_open(3)and return the exit code of that process

SYNOPSIS

       int proc_close (resource  $process)

DESCRIPTION

       proc_close(3) is similar to pclose(3) except that it only works on processes opened by proc_open(3). proc_close(3) waits for the process to
       terminate, and returns its exit code. If you have open pipes to that process, you should fclose(3) them prior to calling this  function	in
       order to avoid a deadlock - the child process may not be able to exit while the pipes are open.

PARAMETERS

	      o $process
		- The proc_open(3) resource that will be closed.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the termination status of the process that was run. In case of an error then -1 is returned.

proc_terminate - Kills a process opened by proc_open

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

	Signals  a $process (created using proc_open(3)) that it should terminate. proc_terminate(3) returns immediately and does not wait for the
       process to terminate.

       proc_terminate(3) 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(3) function.

PARAMETERS

	      o $process
		- The proc_open(3) resource that will be closed.

	      o $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.
