Details

Description:
"kill -L" should print signals and their corresponding numbers, but prints an error message instead. The bug also occurs, when using "kill --table". The upstream [1] version (3fb0851) does work properly.

Tested on version util-linux 2.37.4 build on 2022-02-14

steps to reproduce:
run "kill -L", then the following error is printed:
kill: unknown signal: SIGL
kill: type kill -l for a list of signals

You're not running kill from util-linux, you're using a shell builtin that doesn't work the same way.
