std::raise - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| | | | | --------------------- | | | | int raise( int sig ); | | |

Sends signal sig to the program. The signal handler (specified using the std::signal() function) is invoked.

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

[edit] Parameters

sig - the signal to be sent. It can be an implementation-defined value or one of the following values:

[edit] Return value

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

[edit] Example

#include #include   void signal_handler(int signal) { std::cout << "Received signal " << signal << '\n'; }   int main() { // Install a signal handler std::signal(SIGTERM, signal_handler);   std::cout << "Sending signal " << SIGTERM << '\n'; std::raise(SIGTERM); }

Possible output:

Sending signal 15 Received signal 15
