.bp .au "TSC \- intro.xx" .c The zap Program .2 \f(BIzap\fB is a Perl version of that old program to send signals to a selected set of processes. .2 This one lets you send a signal based according to tty, command name, or user (plus others). Which one you mean is inferred. .2 The choice of names for variables here was inspired due to a lack of data structures before Perl 5. This makes the program trickier than it needs to be. .2 Notice how .T eval is used to check for a valid regexp. .2 This program behaves differently when called by a different name.
