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 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  sig-
     nals 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.

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.
