Subject: using kill in cygwin1.dll
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi,

I'll try to call the function kill from a Borland Application to kill a 
cygwin application.

typedef int __declspec(dllimport) _pascal PKill(int pid, int signal);
...
HMODULE mod = LoadLibrary("cygwin1.dll");
Kill = (PKill) GetProcAddress("kill");
...
int ret = Kill(pid,signal);
...

If I call the system like that I'll get a -1 as return -> Error.

So here are my questions :

1) Do I need to initialize something before calling kill?
2) is _pascal the correct calling style (or _stdcall, _cdecl)??
3) Are the types correct? (I would say so, but who knows for sure)

Thx
David Ecker
