[swift-users] NSTask's terminate() is not yet implemented on Linux

[Will Field-Thompson]

>From the source
<https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/swift-3.1-branch/Foundation/Process.swift#L422>
and
from status document
<https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/swift-3.1-branch/Docs/Status.md#entities>
(search
"terminate()"), it seems like the answer is that terminate has not yet been
implemented.

Take this with a grain of salt since I haven't tried it out myself, but it
might look something like the following:

import Glibc

kill(task.processIdentifier, SIGTERM)

Where task is your Task (soon to be renamed Process). This isn't exactly
the same as terminate() which I think does some error checking but it gives
you a start.

Good luck!
