It returns a promise. ## CLI You can use `kill-port` as a global package. Install the package globally: ```sh $ npm install --global kill-port # OR $ yarn global add kill-port ``` Then: ```sh $ kill-port --port 8080 # OR $ kill-port 9000 # OR you can use UDP $ kill-port 9000 --method udp ``` You can also kill multiple ports: ```sh $ kill-port --port 8080,5000,3000 # OR $ kill-port 9000 3000 5000 ``` You can also use [npx](https://nodejs.dev/learn/the-npx-nodejs-package-runner) to `kill-port` without installing: ```sh # Kill a single port $ npx kill-port --port 8080 $ npx kill-port 8080 # Use UDP $ npx kill-port 9000 --method udp # Kill multiple ports $ npx kill-port --port 8080,5000,3000 $ npx kill-port 9000 3000 5000 ``` ## Contributing Got an idea for a new feature?
