What do you see instead?

https://nodejs.org/docs/v17.7.0/api/process.html#signal-events

The mentions about the special signal 0 are irrelevant because that section is discussing events and 0 is not included because you cannot catch that signal (AFAIK).

That information is better kept in process.kill() (already exists there) because it's about sending a special signal to detect if the process at that pid is alive.
