[Bug 1065972] Re: Man page of command "kill" is wrong

For completeness: I just noticed that the man page of kill has the
following sentence, so I'm pretty sure nothing needs to be changed in
it.

NOTES Your shell (command line interpreter) may have a built-in kill
command. You may need to run the command described here as /bin/kill to
solve the conflict.

Title:
  Man page of command "kill" is wrong

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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?
