which is basically the OS saying, “Get fucked. You’re done whether you like it or not.”
Nah, the OS is not really saying anything. Definitely not to the program. It’s more of a 1984 shot in the back of your head while you walk down a corridor kind of situation. Also it’s not a gun your bits just vanish in the ether. Then it sends a death certificate to the parent, without further explanation.

Side note: Have you ever used
killall? Was the standard way to send signals by name instead of PID beforepkill. I found out the hard way that it does something rather different on other Unices.
