raise(3C)           (C Programming Language Utilities)            raise(3C)


   NAME
         raise - send signal to program

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <signal.h>

         int raise (int sig);

   DESCRIPTION
         raise sends the signal sig to the executing program.

         raise returns zero if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, raise
         returns -1 and errno is set to indicate the error.  raise uses kill
         to send the signal to the executing program:

               kill(getpid(), sig);

         See kill(2) for a detailed list of failure conditions.  See signal(2)
         for a list of signals.
