     9  # DESCRIPTION
    10  
    11  By default, **runc kill** sends **SIGTERM** to the container's initial process
    12  only.

    14  A different signal can be specified either by its name (with or without the
    15  **SIG** prefix), or its numeric value. Use **kill**(1) with **-l** option
    16  to list available signals.
