NAME
       psignal - General: Sends a signal to a process

SYNOPSIS
       void psignal(
	       struct proc *process,
	       int signal );

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies  a  pointer to a proc structure.  Specifies the signal that you want to send to the specified process. You can specify any of the
       signals defined in /usr/sys/include/sys/signal.h.

DESCRIPTION
       The psignal routine posts a signal to the specified process. The posting of a signal causes that signal to be added to the set  of  pending
       signals	for  the specified process. Depending on the state of the process and the state of the process's signals, the specified signal may
       be ignored, masked, caught by a tracing parent, or caught by the actual target process. If the signal is to  be	delivered  to  the  target
       process, psignal examines and modifies the process state to prepare the execution of the appropriate signal handler.

RETURN VALUES
       None
