pid equals 0, then sig is sent to every process in the process group of
the calling process.
skill.c code:
```c
static void __attribute__ ((__noreturn__))
kill_main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int signo, i;
long pid;
int exitvalue = EXIT_SUCCESS;
union sigval sigval;
bool use_sigqueue = false;
char *sig_option;

{"list", optional_argument, NULL, 'l'},
{"table", no_argument, NULL, 'L'},
{"signal", required_argument, NULL, 's'},
{"help", no_argument, NULL, 'h'},
{"version", no_argument, NULL, 'V'},
{"queue", required_argument, NULL, 'q'},
{NULL, 0, NULL, 0}
};
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
bindtextdomain(PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
textdomain(PACKAGE);
atexit(close_stdout);
if (argc < 2)
kill_usage(stderr);
signo = skill_sig_option(&argc, argv);
if (signo < 0)
signo = SIGTERM;
opterr=0; /* suppress errors on -123 */
while ((i = getopt_long(argc, argv, "l::Ls:hVq:", longopts, NULL)) !=
-1)
switch (i) {
case '?':
if (!isdigit(optopt)) {
xwarnx(_("invalid argument %c"), optopt);
kill_usage(stderr);
} else {
/* Special case for signal digit negative
* PIDs */
pid = atoi(argv[optind-1]);
if (kill((pid_t)pid, signo) != 0)
exitvalue = EXIT_FAILURE;
exit(exitvalue);
}
xerrx(EXIT_FAILURE, _("internal error"));
default:
kill_usage(stderr);
}
}
```
maybe getopt_long parse negative pid(-2345) as opt,so pid =
atoi(argv[optind-1]) become 0.
