RAISE(3C) Standard C Library Functions RAISE(3C)
NAME
raise - send a signal to the executing thread
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int raise(
int sig);
DESCRIPTION
The
raise() function sends the signal
sig to the executing thread.
If a signal handler is called, the raise function does not return
until after the signal handler returns.
The effect of the raise function is equivalent to calling:
pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig);
See the
pthread_kill(3C) manual page for a detailed list of failure
conditions and the
signal.h(3HEAD) manual page for a list of signals.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion,
0 is returned. Otherwise,
-1 is returned
and
errno is set to indicate the error.
