 * Function:  kill
 *
 * Description:
 *   The kill() system call can be used to send any signal to
 *   any task.
 *
 *   Limitation: Sending of signals to 'process groups' is
 *   not supported in NuttX
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   pid - The id of the task to receive the signal.  The
 *     POSIX kill specification encodes process group
 *     information as zero and negative pid values.  Only
 *     positive, non-zero values of pid are supported by this
 *     implementation.
 *   signo - The signal number to send.  If signo is zero,
 *     no signal is sent, but all error checking is performed.
 *
 *
 * Return Value:
 *    On success (at least one signal was sent), zero is
 *    returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set
 *    appropriately.
 *
 *    EINVAL An invalid signal was specified.
 *    EPERM  The process does not have permission to send the
 *           signal to any of the target processes.
 *    ESRCH  The pid or process group does not exist.
 *    ENOSYS Do not support sending signals to process groups.
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *
