LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS
       #include <signal.h>

       int raise(
	       int signal );

STANDARDS
       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS
       Specifies a signal number.

DESCRIPTION
       The raise() function sends the signal specified by the signal parameter to the invoking thread. In single-threaded programs this is equiva-
       lent to:

       kill(getpid(), signal);

       The behavior of the raise() function is equivalent to:

       pthread_kill(pthread_self(), signal);

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion of the raise() function, a value of 0 (zero) is returned. Otherwise, a nonzero value is returned  and  errno	is
       set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The  raise() function sets errno to the specified values for the following conditions: The value of the signal parameter is an invalid sig-
       nal number.
