SENDSIG(3PVM)			PVM Version 3.4			 SENDSIG(3PVM)

NAME
       pvm_sendsig - Sends a signal to another PVM process.

SYNOPSIS
       C    int	info = pvm_sendsig( int	tid, int signum	)

       Fortran	 call pvmfsendsig( tid,	signum,	info )

PARAMETERS
       tid     Integer task identifier of PVM process to receive the signal.

       signum  Integer signal number.

       info    Integer status code returned by the routine.

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 han-
       dling 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  an-
       other.

EXAMPLES
       C:
	    tid	= pvm_parent();
	    info = pvm_sendsig(	tid, SIGKILL);

       Fortran:
	    CALL PVMFBUFINFO( BUFID, BYTES, TYPE, TID, INFO );
	    CALL PVMFSENDSIG( TID, SIGNUM, INFO	)

ERRORS
       These error conditions can be returned by pvm_sendsig

       PvmSysErr
	      pvmd not responding.

       PvmBadParam
	      giving an	invalid	tid value.
