See kill(2) for reference.

On Windows, where POSIX signals do not exist, the `signal` argument will be

ignored, and the process will be killed forcefully and abruptly (similar to

`'SIGKILL'`).

See [Signal Events][] for more details.

On Linux, child processes of child processes will not be terminated

when attempting to kill their parent. This is likely to happen when running a

new process in a shell or with the use of the `shell` option of `ChildProcess`:
