vsig(1fmli)
vsig --
synchronize a co-process with the controlling FMLI application
Synopsis
vsig
Description
The vsig executable sends a SIGUSR2 signal to the
controlling FMLI process.
This signal/alarm causes FMLI to execute the FMLI built-in
command checkworld
which causes all posted objects with a reread descriptor
evaluating to TRUE to be reread.
vsig takes no arguments
(see
Character user interface programming in Character user interface programming).
Examples
The following is a segment of a shell program:
echo "Sending this string to an FMLI process"
vsig
The vsig executable flushes the output buffer
before it sends the SIGUSR2
signal to make sure the string is actually in the pipe created by
the cocreate function.
Notices
Because vsig synchronizes with FMLI, it should be used
rather than kill to send a SIGUSR2 signal to FMLI.
