What are the differences between SIGUSR1 and USR1
Are there any differences between SIGUSR1 vs USR1 when it comes to killing a process
Ex
kill -SIGUSR1 {pid}
or
kill -USR1 {pid}
Solution 1:
There is no difference (apart from the number of characters you have to type).
Citing e.g. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/kill.1@@procps-ng.html
Alternate signals may be specified in three ways:
-9
,-SIGKILL
or-KILL
.
Not all variants of the manual page contain this explanation.
