process-kill

Arguments: process &key wait

This function resets the process to unwind it, then removes it from consideration for running and from the *all-processes* list.

If the wait keyword argument is non-nil, the calling process waits until the killed process is really gone. process-kill signals an error if the process to be killed is an active immigrant. An inactive immigrant is one that was created to handle a lisp call from a foreign thread, and has returned from the topmost lisp call back into the foreign regime. The thread may still be processing, but it has no lisp state. This will kill the lisp process associated with that foreign thread, but will not kill the foreign thread itself. If it later calls into lisp, a new immigrant process will be created for it.
