std::raise(3)

NAME
std::raise - std::raise

Synopsis
   Defined in header <csignal>
   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.

Parameters
         the signal to be sent. It can be an implementation-defined value or one of the
         following values:
         SIGABRT
   sig - SIGFPE
         SIGILL defines signal types
         SIGINT (macro constant)
         SIGSEGV
         SIGTERM

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

Example
// Run this code
 #include <csignal>
 #include <iostream>
 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
