raise(3C)                                                         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.

SEE ALSO
     getpid(2), kill(2), signal(2).
