RAISE_ Procedure

RAISE_ is the pTAL procedure name for the C raise() function. The C raise()

function complies with the POSIX.1 standard.

See the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.HSIGNAL header file for the pTAL prototype definitions.

For a discussion of each parameter and other procedure considerations, see the

raise(3) function reference page either online or in the Open System Services

System Calls Reference Manual.

Considerations

When RAISE_ is used to stop a process, the operating system supplies a completion

code in the system message and, for OSS processes, in the OSS process termination

status as follows:

•

If the signal is handled by SIG_DFL, a completion code of 9 is returned and the

signal number is returned in the termination information.

•

If the signal is handled by the default CRE signal handler, a completion code of 3 is

returned with 0 in the termination information.

Refer to Appendix C, Completion Codes

for a list of completion codes.

Note. This procedure can be called only from native processes.
