 	create new sub-cgroups.
 
+  cgroup.kill
+	A write-only single value file which exists in non-root cgroups.
+	The only allowed value is "1".
+
+	Writing "1" to the file causes the cgroup and all descendant cgroups to
+	be killed. This means that all processes located in the affected cgroup
+	tree will be killed via SIGKILL.
+
+	Killing a cgroup tree will deal with concurrent forks appropriately and
+	is protected against migrations. If callers require strict guarantees
+	they can issue the cgroup.kill request after a freezing the cgroup via
+	cgroup.freeze.
+
+	In a threaded cgroup, writing this file fails with EOPNOTSUPP as
+	killing cgroups is a process directed operation, i.e. it affects
+	the whole thread-group.
