Title:
  Man page of command "kill" is wrong

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  `man kill` gives:

  	kill [ -L | -V, --version ]
  	...
  	Use -l or -L to list available signals.
  	...
  	kill -L
  	  List the available signal choices in a nice table.
  	...
  	STANDARDS
  	  This command meets appropriate standards. The -L flag is Linux-specific.

  Man page shortened above for space reasons.

  When I try to give `kill` the `-L` parameter I get:

  	$ kill -L
  	bash: kill: L: invalid signal specification

  So it seems that `-L` is not implemented?
