<dl>

<dt><a name="+Key"><code>+Key</code></a>
<dd>Prefix class for maintaining unique indexes to <code><a
href="refR.html#+relation">+relation</a></code>s, a subclass of <code><a
href="refI.html#+index">+index</a></code>. Accepts an optional argument for a
<code><a href="refH.html#+Hook">+Hook</a></code> attribute. See also <code><a
href="ref.html#dbase">Database</a></code>.

<pre><code>
(rel nr (+Need +Key +Number))  # Mandatory, unique Customer/Supplier number
</code></pre>

<dt><a name="key"><code>(key ['cnt]) -> sym</code></a>
<dd>Returns the next character from standard input as a single-character
transient symbol. The console is set to raw mode. While waiting for a key press,
a <code>select</code> system call is executed for all file descriptors and
timers in the <code>VAL</code> of the global variable <code><a
href="refR.html#*Run">*Run</a></code>. If <code>cnt</code> is
non-<code>NIL</code>, that amount of milliseconds is waited maximally, and
<code>NIL</code> is returned upon timeout. See also <code><a
href="refR.html#raw">raw</a></code> and <code><a
href="refW.html#wait">wait</a></code>.

<pre><code>
: (key)           # Wait for a key
-> "a"            # 'a' pressed
</code></pre>

<dt><a name="kill"><code>(kill 'pid ['cnt]) -> flg</code></a>
<dd>Sends a signal with the signal number <code>cnt</code> (or SIGTERM if
<code>cnt</code> is not given) to the process with the ID <code>pid</code>.
Returns <code>T</code> if successful.

<pre><code>
: (kill *Pid 20)                                # Stop current process

[2]+  Stopped               pil +               # Unix shell
$ fg                                            # Job control: Foreground
pil +
-> T                                            # 'kill' was successful
</code></pre>
