signal - raises a signal in the current process

### USAGE

        signal [<code>]

### DESCRIPTION

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.

### EXAMPLES

To send a soft interrupt signal:

        lens> signal INT

or

        lens> signal 2
