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.
