# zx_task_kill
## NAME
task_kill - Kill the provided task (job, process, or thread).
## SYNOPSIS
```
#include <zircon/syscalls.h>
zx_status_t zx_task_kill(zx_handle_t handle);
```
## DESCRIPTION
This asynchronously kills the given process, thread or job. It is then
possible to wait for the task to be dead via the
**ZX_TASK_TERMINATED** signal.
If a process or thread uses this syscall to kill itself, this syscall does
not return.
## RETURN VALUE
## ERRORS
**ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED** *handle* does not have **ZX_RIGHT_DESTROY**.
