SENDSIG(3PVM)							  PVM Version 3.4						     SENDSIG(3PVM)

NAME

       pvm_sendsig - Sends a signal to another PVM process.

SYNOPSIS

       C    int info = pvm_sendsig( int tid, int signum )

       Fortran	 call pvmfsendsig( tid, signum, info )

PARAMETERS

       tid     Integer task identifier of PVM process to receive the signal.

       signum  Integer signal number.

       info    Integer status code returned by the routine.

DESCRIPTION

       The routine pvm_sendsig sends the signal number signum to the PVM process identified by tid.  If pvm_sendsig is successful, info will be 0.
       If some error occurs then info will be < 0.

       pvm_sendsig should only be used by programmers with Unix signal handling experience.  Many library functions (and in fact the  PVM  library
       functions) cannot be called in a signal handler context because they do not mask signals or lock internal data structures.

       Further	caveat:   the  signal  numbers	passed	between systems are not mapped - PVM assumes that signal 9 on one system is the same as on
       another.

EXAMPLES

       C:
	    tid = pvm_parent();
	    info = pvm_sendsig( tid, SIGKILL);

       Fortran:
	    CALL PVMFBUFINFO( BUFID, BYTES, TYPE, TID, INFO );
	    CALL PVMFSENDSIG( TID, SIGNUM, INFO )

ERRORS

       These error conditions can be returned by pvm_sendsig

       PvmSysErr
	      pvmd not responding.

       PvmBadParam
	      giving an invalid tid value.
