Generating Signals

Besides signals that are generated as a result of a hardware trap or interrupt, your program can explicitly send signals to itself or to another process.

• Signaling Yourself: A process can send a signal to itself.
• Signaling Another Process: Send a signal to another process.
• Permission for kill: Permission for using kill.
• Kill Example: Using kill for Communication.
