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.
