     PSIGNAL(K)                UNIX System V                PSIGNAL(K)



     Name
          psignal - sends signal to a process

     Syntax
          #include "sys/proc.h"
          #include "sys/signal.h"

          int
          psignal(p, sig)
          proc_t *p;
          int sig;

     Description
          The psignal routine sends the specified signal sig to the
          process specified by p. proc_t is another name for the proc
          structure and is defined in sys/proc.h.

     Parameters
          p is a pointer to the process to which the signal is sent.
          At task time it is u.u_procp (see sys/user.h).  If you want
          to be able to kill a process at interrupt time you need to
          store u.u_procp in a global variable.

          sig is the number of the signal to be sent.  For more
          information about possible signals, see the /sys/signal.h
          header file.
