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 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.


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.
