        signal [<code>]

  DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN

  This raises a signal in the current process. With no arguments it prints a
  list of useful signals. Otherwise, the first argument can be the name of a
  signal or the numerical value, which range from 1-31 on most machines.

  Recognized signal names are:


    INT
        interrupts ongoing work or does a soft quit, the same as Ctrl-C.

    USR1
        runs the sigUSR1Proc

    USR2
        runs the sigUSR1Proc

    QUIT, KILL, ABRT, ALRM, TERM
        at the moment these all kill the process, but some could be used for
        other purposes in the future.


  EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS

  To send a soft interrupt signal:

        lens> signal INT
  or

        lens> signal 2
