Defined in header <signal.h>
int raise( int sig );

Sends signal sig to the program. The signal handler, specified using signal() is invoked.

If the user-defined signal handling strategy is not set using signal() yet, it is implementation-defined whether the signal will be ignored or default handler will be invoked.

Parameters

sig

-

the signal to be sent. It can be an implementation-defined value or one of the following values: SIGABRT SIGFPE SIGILL SIGINT SIGSEGV SIGTERM defines signal types (macro constant)

Return value

​0​ upon success, non-zero value on failure.
