pvm_sendsig - Sends a signal to another PVM process.
Contents
Description
The routine pvm_sendsig sends the signal number signum to the PVM process identified by tid. If
pvm_sendsig is successful, info will be 0. If some error occurs then info will be < 0.
pvm_sendsig should only be used by programmers with Unix signal handling experience. Many library
functions (and in fact the PVM library functions) cannot be called in a signal handler context because
they do not mask signals or lock internal data structures.
Further caveat: the signal numbers passed between systems are not mapped - PVM assumes that signal 9 on
one system is the same as on another.
Errors
These error conditions can be returned by pvm_sendsig
PvmSysErr
pvmd not responding.
PvmBadParam
giving an invalid tid value.
Examples
C:
tid = pvm_parent();
info = pvm_sendsig( tid, SIGKILL);
Fortran:
CALL PVMFBUFINFO( BUFID, BYTES, TYPE, TID, INFO );
CALL PVMFSENDSIG( TID, SIGNUM, INFO )
Name
