NAME

6       raise - send a signal to the executing thread
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <signal.h>
10
11       int raise(int sig);
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The raise() function sends the signal sig to the executing thread. If a
16       signal handler is called, the raise  function  does  not  return  until
17       after the signal handler returns.
18
19
20       The effect of the raise function is equivalent to calling:
21
22         pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig);
23

26       See  the  pthread_kill(3C)  manual  page for a detailed list of failure
27       conditions and the signal.h(3HEAD) manual page for a list of signals.

RETURN VALUES

30       Upon successful completion, 0 is returned.  Otherwise, −1  is  returned
31       and errno is set to indicate the error.
