raise
Sends a signal to the executing program.
int raise( int sig );
Parameters
- sig
-
Signal to be raised.
The raise function sends sig to the executing program. If a previous call to signal has installed a signal-handling function for sig, raise executes that function. If no handler function has been installed, the default action associated with the signal value sig is taken, as follows.
| Signal | Meaning | Default |
|---|---|---|
| SIGABRT | Abnormal termination | Terminates the calling program with exit code 3 |
| SIGFPE | Floating-point error | Terminates the calling program |
| SIGILL | Illegal instruction | Terminates the calling program |
| SIGINT | CTRL+C interrupt | Terminates the calling program |
| SIGSEGV | Illegal storage access | Terminates the calling program |
| SIGTERM | Termination request sent to the program | Ignores the signal |
If the argument is not a valid signal as specified above, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If not handled, the function sets errno to EINVAL and returns a nonzero value.
