.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn raise_default_signal
|
|
function raises the default signal handler for the signal
|
|
.Fa sig .
|
|
This function may be used by a user-defined signal handler router
|
|
to ensure that a parent process receives the correct notification
|
|
of a process termination by a signal.
|
|
This can be used to avoid a common programming mistake
|
|
when terminating a process from a custom
|
|
.Dv SIGINT
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv SIGQUIT
|
|
signal handler.

|
|
.Xr sigprocmask 2 .
|
|
.It
|
|

|
|
.Fa sig
