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

I am trying to call this function: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/raise?view=msvc-170 from Rust.
But it doesn't seem to be in any of the windows-rs crates.
How might I do the equivalent?

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.
