sigwaitinfo, sigtimedwait: synchronně čekat na signály ve frontě

Originální popis anglicky: sigwaitinfo, sigtimedwait - synchronously wait for queued signals

Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual

STRUČNĚ

#include <signal.h> int sigwaitinfo(const sigset_t *set, siginfo_t *info); int sigtimedwait(const sigset_t *set, siginfo_t *info, const struct timespec timeout);

POPIS / INSTRUKCE

sigwaitinfo() suspends execution of the calling process until one of the signals in set is delivered. (If one of the signals in set is already pending for the calling process, sigwaitinfo() will return immediately with information about that signal.) sigwaitinfo() removes the delivered signal from the calling process's list of pending signals and returns the signal number as its function result. If the info argument is not NULL, then it returns a structure of type siginfo_t (see sigaction(2)) containing information about the signal. Signals returned via sigwaitinfo() are delivered in the usual order; see signal(7) for further details. sigtimedwait() operates in exactly the same way as sigwaitinfo() except that it has an additional argument, timeout, which enables an upper bound to be placed on the time for which the process is suspended. This argument is of the following type:

struct timespec {
    long    tv_sec;         /* seconds */
    long    tv_nsec;        /* nanoseconds */
}

If both fields of this structure are specified as 0, a poll is performed: sigtimedwait() returns immediately, either with information about a signal that was pending for the caller, or with an error if none of the signals in set was pending.

NÁVRATOVÁ HODNOTA

On success, both sigwaitinfo() and sigtimedwait() return a signal number (i.e., a value greater than zero). On failure both calls return -1, with errno set to indicate the error.

CHYBY / ERRORY

EAGAIN

No signal in set was delivered within the timeout period specified to sigtimedwait().

EINTR

The wait was interrupted by a signal handler. (This handler was for a signal other than one of those in set.)

EINVAL

timeout was invalid.

NOTES

In normal usage, the caller blocks the signals in set via a prior call to sigprocmask() (so that the default disposition for these signals does not occur if they are delivered between successive calls to sigwaitinfo()or sigtimedwait()) and does not establish handlers for these signals. POSIX leaves the meaning of a NULL value for the timeout argument of sigtimedwait() unspecified, permitting the possibility that this has the same meaning as a call to sigwaitinfo(), and indeed this is what is done on Linux.
