Is it possible for me to call raise(sig) from Rust?

Question

But it doesn't seem to be in any of the windows-rs crates.

How might I do the equivalent?

The function is not in windows-rs because it is not part of Windows API. Maybe there are other equivalents or solutions depending on the needs.

The raise function is a standard C function. By the looks of it, you should be using the libc crate.

Thanks @Darran rowe .

I had realized that it was part of the c runtime shortly after I posted and went looking for it in libc. Though I got side-tracked and eventually ended up trying to use windows-rs and raising an exception with the windows api.
