+/**
+ * Sends a signal ("kills") to processes.
+ *
+ * The first argument is the signal, either in:
+ *
+ * - Numerical representation (e.g. `9`), or
+ * - Textual representation of canonical (e.g. `:SIGKILL`) name or
+ * abbreviated (e.g. `:KILL`) name, either in ::rb_cSymbol or ::rb_cString.
+ *
+ * All the remaining arguments are numerical representations of process IDs.
+ * This function iterates over them to send the specified signal.
+ *
+ * You can specify both negative PIDs and negative signo to this function:
+ *
+ * ```
+ * sig \ pid | >= 1 | == 0 | == -1 | <= -2
+ * ===========+======+======+=======+=======
+ * > 0 | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4
+ * == 0 | #5 | #6 | #7 | #8
+ * < 0 | #9 | #10 | #11
+ * ```
+ *
+ * - Case #1: When signo and PID are both positive, this function sends the
+ * specified signal to the specified process (intuitive).
+ *
+ * - Case #2: When signo is positive and PID is zero, this function sends
+ * that signal to the current process group.
+ *
+ * - Case #3: When signo is positive and PID is -1, this function sends that
+ * signal to everything that the current process is allowed to kill.
+ *
+ * - Case #4: When signo is positive and PID is negative (but not -1), this
+ * function sends that signal to every processes in a process group, whose
+ * process group ID is the absolute value of the passed PID.
+ *
+ * - Case #5: When signo is zero and PID is positive, this function just
+ * checks for the existence of the specified process and doesn't send
+ * anything to anyone. In case the process is absent `Errno::ESRCH` is
+ * raised.
+ *
+ * - Case #6: When signo and PID are both zero, this function checks for the
+ * existence of the current process group. And it must do. This function
+ * is effectively a no-op then.
+ *
+ * - Case #7: When signo is zero and PID is -1, this function checks if there
+ * is any other process that the current process can kill. At least init
+ * (PID 1) must exist, so this must not fail.
+ *
+ * - Case #8: When signo is zero and PID is negative (but not -1), this
+ * function checks if there is a process group whose process group ID is
+ * the absolute value of the passed PID. In case the process group is
+ * absent `Errno::ESRCH` is raised.
+ *
+ * - Case #9: When signo is negative and PID is positive, this function sends
+ * the absolute value of the passed signo to the process group specified as
+ * the PID.
+ *
+ * - Case #10: When signo is negative and PID is zero, it is highly expected
+ * that this function sends the absolute value of the passed signo to the
+ * current process group. Strictly speaking, IEEE Std 1003.1-2017
+ * specifies that this (`killpg(3posix)` with an argument of zero) is an
+ * undefined behaviour. But no operating system is known so far that does
+ * things differently.
+ *
+ * - Case #11: When signo and PID are both negative, the behaviour of this
+ * function depends on how `killpg(3)` works. On Linux, it seems such
+ * attempt is strictly prohibited and `Errno::EINVAL` is raised. But on
+ * macOS, it seems it tries to send the signal actually to the process
+ * group.
+ *
+ * @note Above description is in fact different from how `kill(2)` works.
+ * We interpret the passed arguments before passing them through to
+ * system calls.
+ * @param[in] argc Number of objects in `argv`.
+ * @param[in] argv Signal, followed by target PIDs.
+ * @exception rb_eArgError Unknown signal name.
+ * @exception rb_eSystemCallError Various errors sending signal to processes.
+ * @return Something numeric. The meaning of this return value is unclear.
+ * It seems in case of #1 above, this could be the body count. But
+ * other cases remain mysterious.
