Send a Signal to the S Process

USAGE:

send.self(what=2) 

ARGUMENTS:

what
the integer code for the signal to be sent; default, interrupt. (See your system manual for the available codes.)

VALUE:

The function would return the result of a ".C" call, but presumably will never return. This function is useful for testing error recovery, by simulating an interrupt or other error at a specific point in a calculation. In moments of great distress, it can also be used to abort S by calling it with a QUIT signal ( what=3).
