Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Constant:  SIGABRT, SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGINT, SIGSEGV, SIGTERM
 
  Include:   <signal.h>
 
  Context:   signal, raise
 
  Summary:   The <sig> argument must be one of the manifest constants
             listed below (defined in SIGNAL.H).
 
     Constant    Meaning
 
     SIGABRT     Abnormal termination. The default action terminates
                 the calling program with exit code 3.
 
     SIGFPE      Floating-point error, such as overflow, division by
                 zero, or invalid operation. The default action
                 terminates the calling program. SIGFPE is the only
                 signal constant available when the _WINDOWS constant
                 is defined. The _WINDOWS constant is defined by CL
                 options /GA, /GD, /GE, /GW, /Gw, and /Mq.
 
     SIGILL      Illegal instruction. This signal is not generated by
                 DOS, but is supported for ANSI compatibility. The
                 default action terminates the calling program.
 
     SIGINT      CTRL+C interrupt. The default action issues INT 23H.
 
     SIGSEGV     Illegal storage access. This signal is not generated
                 by DOS, but is supported for ANSI compatibility. The
                 default action terminates the calling program.
 
     SIGTERM     Termination request sent to the program. This signal
                 is not generated by DOS, but is supported for ANSI
                 compatibility. The default action terminates the
                 calling program.
