 int postnote(int who, int pid, char *note)
DESCRIPTION
Postnote sends a note to a process or process group. If who is PNPROC , then note is written to /proc/ pid /note\f1. If who is PNGROUP , the note is delivered to the process group by writing note to /proc/ pid /notepg\f1. For PNGROUP only, if the calling process is in the target group, the note is not delivered to that process.
