+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH NAME
+raise
+\(em send a signal to the executing process
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <signal.h>
+.P
+int raise(int \fIsig\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fIraise\fR()
+function shall send the signal
+.IR sig
+to the executing
+thread or process.
+If a signal handler is called, the
+\fIraise\fR()
+function shall not return until after the signal handler does.
+.P
+The effect of the
+\fIraise\fR()
+function shall be equivalent to calling:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+\fB
+pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig);
+.fi \fR

+and
+.IR errno
+shall be set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIraise\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
