NAME
raise - send signal to program
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h> int raise (int sig);
DESCRIPTION
raise sends the signal sig to the executing program.
raise returns zero if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, raise returns -1 and errno is set to indicate the error. raise uses kill to send the signal to the executing program:
kill(getpid(), sig);
See kill(2) for a detailed list of failure conditions. See signal(2) for a list of signals.
