`uv_process_t userdata`
- `signame`: `string` or `integer` or `nil` (default: `sigterm`)
Sends the specified signal to the given process handle. Check
the documentation on |uv_signal_t| for signal support,
specially on Windows.
See |luv-constants| for supported `signame` input and output
values.
Returns: `0` or `fail`
uv.kill({pid}, {signame}) *uv.kill()*
Parameters:
- `pid`: `integer`
- `signame`: `string` or `integer` or `nil` (default: `sigterm`)
Sends the specified signal to the given PID. Check the
documentation on |uv_signal_t| for signal support, specially
on Windows.
See |luv-constants| for supported `signame` input and output
values.
Returns: `0` or `fail`
uv.process_get_pid({process}) *uv.process_get_pid()*
> method form `process:get_pid()`
Parameters:
- `process`: `uv_process_t userdata`
Returns the handle's pid.
Returns: `integer`

`uv_stream_t` — Stream handle *luv-stream-handle* *uv_stream_t*
> |uv_handle_t| functions also apply.
Stream handles provide an abstraction of a duplex communication channel.
`uv_stream_t` is an abstract type, libuv provides 3 stream implementations
in the form of |uv_tcp_t|, |uv_pipe_t| and |uv_tty_t|.
uv.shutdown({stream} [, {callback}]) *uv.shutdown()*
> method form `stream:shutdown([callback])`
Parameters:
- `stream`: `userdata` for sub-type of |uv_stream_t|
- `callback`: `callable` or `nil`
- `err`: `nil` or `string`
Shutdown the outgoing (write) side of a duplex stream. It
waits for pending write requests to complete. The callback is
called after shutdown is complete.
Returns: `uv_shutdown_t userdata` or `fail`
uv.listen({stream}, {backlog}, {callback}) *uv.listen()*
> method form `stream:listen(backlog, callback)`
Parameters:
- `stream`: `userdata` for sub-type of |uv_stream_t|
- `backlog`: `integer`
- `callback`: `callable`
- `err`: `nil` or `string`
Start listening for incoming connections. `backlog` indicates
the number of connections the kernel might queue, same as
`listen(2)`. When a new incoming connection is received the
callback is called.
Returns: `0` or `fail`
uv.accept({stream}, {client_stream}) *uv.accept()*
> method form `stream:accept(client_stream)`
Parameters:
- `stream`: `userdata` for sub-type of |uv_stream_t|
- `client_stream`: `userdata` for sub-type of |uv_stream_t|
This call is used in conjunction with |uv.listen()| to accept
incoming connections. Call this function after receiving a
callback to accept the connection.
When the connection callback is called it is guaranteed that
this function will complete successfully the first time. If
you attempt to use it more than once, it may fail. It is
suggested to only call this function once per connection call.
Returns: `0` or `fail`
