SIGTSTP is the stop signal sent from a terminal, usually by pressing Ctrl-S. Ctrl-Q can be used to subsequently send a SIGCONT. > The option(s) isn't listed in the man page. > The man page doesn't match the command.

I used the -l option to get to the signal names. Following your report I tried the --table (and the, according to the manpage, equivalent -L) option and found you appear to be right, either the man page or the kill command seems borked. However, it wouldn't have helped much I'm afraif, because AIUI it would have just generated a table listing signal numbers and associated names. A list additionally containing the meaning of the signals can be found via: man 7 signal (scroll a few pages down to get to it).
