raise() function in C/C++
The function raise() is used to send the signals to the program. The predefined function signal() is invoked. It is implemented to check whether it will ignore the signal or invoke the signal handler. This is declared in “signal.h” header file. It returns zero,if successful otherwise, non-zero value.
Here is the syntax of raise() in C language,
int raise(int signal)
Here,
signal − The signal number to be invoked.
Here is an example of raise() in C language,
Example
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void handler(int sig) {
printf("Signal received : %d\n", sig);
}
int main() {
signal(SIGILL, handler);
printf("Sending signal : %d\n", SIGILL);
raise(SIGILL);
return 0;
}Output
Sending signal : 4 Signal received : 4
In the above program, a function handler is defined before the main() function and in the main function, signal() is invoked and SIGILL ( Signal Illegal Instruction ) is sent and received.
signal(SIGILL, handler);
printf("Sending signal : %d\n", SIGILL);
raise(SIGILL);
