RAISE_ Procedure
Summary
Considerations
Summary
NOTE: The RAISE procedure can be called only from native processes.
The RAISE_ procedure 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.
For a list of completion codes, see Appendix C: Completion Codes.
