Renumber copyright clause 4

2017-02-28T23:42:47Z

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point. Submitted by: Jan Schaumann Pull Request: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/pull/96

In v3 UNIX, the kill utility is documented in category 8, not 1.

Add a note of it. http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V3/man/man8/kill.8 PR: 211786 Approved by: bcr (mentor) Obtained from: TUHS Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D8105

sh: Add kill builtin.

This allows specifying a %job (which is equivalent to the corresponding process group). Additionally, it improves reliability of kill from sh in high-load situations and ensures "kill" finds the correct utility regardless of PATH, as required by POSIX (unless the undocumented %builtin mechanism is used). Side effect: fatal errors (any error other than kill(2) failure) now return exit status 2 instead of 1. (This is consistent with other sh builtins, but not in NetBSD.) Code size increases about 1K on i386. Obtained from: NetBSD
