SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
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. If who
is PNGROUP, the note is delivered to the process group by
writing note to /proc/pid/notepg. For PNGROUP only, if the
calling process is in the target group, the note is not
delivered to that process.
If the write is successful, zero is returned. Otherwise -1
is returned.
