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.
