sigwait - wait for queued signals
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <signal.h>
int sigwait(const sigset_t *restrict
set, int
*restrict sig);
The
sigwait() function shall select a pending signal from
set,
atomically clear it from the system's set of pending signals, and return that
signal number in the location referenced by
sig. If prior to the call
to
sigwait() there are multiple pending instances of a single signal
number, it is implementation-defined whether upon successful return there are
any remaining pending signals for that signal number. If the
implementation supports queued signals and there are multiple signals queued
for the signal number selected, the first such queued signal shall cause a
return from
sigwait() and the remainder shall remain queued. If no
signal in
set is pending at the time of the call, the thread shall be
suspended until one or more becomes pending. The signals defined by
set
shall have been blocked at the time of the call to
sigwait();
otherwise, the behavior is undefined. The effect of
sigwait() on the
signal actions for the signals in
set is unspecified.
If more than one thread is using
sigwait() to wait for the same signal,
no more than one of these threads shall return from
sigwait() with the
signal number. Which thread returns from
sigwait() if more than a
single thread is waiting is unspecified.
Should any of the multiple pending signals in the range SIGRTMIN to SIGRTMAX be
selected, it shall be the lowest numbered one. The selection order between
realtime and non-realtime signals, or between multiple pending non-realtime
signals, is unspecified.
Upon successful completion,
sigwait() shall store the signal number of
the received signal at the location referenced by
sig and return zero.
Otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
The
sigwait() function may fail if:
- EINVAL
- The set argument contains an invalid or unsupported
signal number.

To provide a convenient way for a thread to wait for a signal, this volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 provides the
sigwait() function. For
most cases where a thread has to wait for a signal, the
sigwait()
function should be quite convenient, efficient, and adequate.
However, requests were made for a lower-level primitive than
sigwait()
and for semaphores that could be used by threads. After some consideration,
threads were allowed to use semaphores and
sem_post() was defined to be
async-signal and async-cancel-safe.
In summary, when it is necessary for code run in response to an asynchronous
signal to notify a thread,
sigwait() should be used to handle the
signal. Alternatively, if the implementation provides semaphores, they also
can be used, either following
sigwait() or from within a signal
handling routine previously registered with
sigaction().
