called asynchronously and therefore unable to correct the underlying problem.

*Note*: Windows does not support sending signals, but Node.js offers some

emulation with [`process.kill()`][], and [`ChildProcess.kill()`][]. Sending

emulation with [`process.kill()`][], and [`subprocess.kill()`][]. Sending

signal `0` can be used to test for the existence of a process. Sending `SIGINT`,

`SIGTERM`, and `SIGKILL` cause the unconditional termination of the target

process.
