Comment: Changed SIGKILL to SIGTERM and corrected inaccurate code comment

...

This code uses the pthread_kill() function to send a SIGKILL SIGTERM signal to the created thread. The thread receives the signal, and the entire process is terminated.

void func(void *foo) {

int main(void) {

  if ((result = pthread_create(&thread, NULL, func, 0)) != 0) {

    /* Handle Error */
