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() uses kill() to send the signal to the executing program:

kill(getpid(), sig);

See kill(2V) for a detailed list of failure conditions.  See signal(3V) for a list of signals. 

RETURN VALUES

raise() returns zero if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, raise() returns −1 and errno is set to indicate the error. 

SEE ALSO

getpid(2V), kill(2V), signal(3V)

NOTES

The unbundled ANSI C compiler provides ANSI versions of most of the system header files, which are used automatically at compile time. For example, the directive
#include <stdio.h> will use the file provided by this compiler, rather than /usr/include/stdio.h.
