  VSIG(1F)  (Form and Menu Language Interpreter Utilities) VSIG(1F)



  NAME
       vsig - synchronize a co-process with the controlling FMLI
       object by flushing all output from the co-process into the
       pipe and sending a signal to FMLI.

  SYNOPSIS
       vsig

  DESCRIPTION
       The vsig executable sends a SIGUSR2 signal to the
       controlling FMLI process.  This signal/alarm causes FMLI to
       execute the developer keyword checkworld, which causes all
       posted objects with a "reread" descriptor evaluating to TRUE
       to be reread.

  EXAMPLES
       The following is a segment of a shell program:

          echo "Sending this string to an FMLI process"
          vsig

       The vsig command will flush the output buffer before it
       sends the SIGUSR2 signal to make sure the string is actually
       in the pipe created by the cocreate built-in.
