SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int raise(int sig);
DESCRIPTION
The raise() function sends the signal sig to the executing thread. If
a signal handler is called, the raise function does not return until
after the signal handler returns.
The effect of the raise function is equivalent to calling:
pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig);
See the pthread_kill(3C) manual page for a detailed list of failure
conditions and the signal.h(3HEAD) manual page for a list of signals.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, −1 is returned
and errno is set to indicate the error.
