.Dt SIGQUEUE 2
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sigqueue
|
|
.Nd "queue a signal to a process (REALTIME)"
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In signal.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sigqueue "pid_t pid" "int signo" "const union sigval value"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigqueue
|
|
system call causes the signal specified by
|
|
.Fa signo
|
|
to be sent with the value specified by
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
to the process specified by
|
|
.Fa pid .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa signo
|
|
is zero (the null signal), error checking is performed but
|
|
no signal is actually sent.
|
|
The null signal can be used to check the
|
|
validity of PID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The conditions required for a process to have permission to queue a
|
|
signal to another process are the same as for the
|
|
.Xr kill 2
|
|
system call.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigqueue
|
|
system call queues a signal to a single process specified by the
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
argument.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigqueue
|
|
system call returns immediately.
|
|
If the resources were
|
|
available to queue the signal, the signal will be queued and sent to
|
|
the receiving process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the value of
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
causes
|
|
.Fa signo
|
|
to be generated for the sending process, and if
|
|
.Fa signo
|
|
is not blocked for the calling thread and if no other thread has
|
|
.Fa signo
|
|
unblocked or is waiting in a
|
|
.Fn sigwait
|
|
system call for
|
|
.Fa signo ,
|
|
either
|
|
.Fa signo
|
|
or at least the pending, unblocked signal will be delivered to the
|
|
calling thread before
|
|
.Fn sigqueue
|
|
returns.
|
|
Should any multiple pending signals in the range
|
|
.Dv SIGRTMIN
|
|
to
|
|
.Dv SIGRTMAX
|
|
be selected for delivery, it is the lowest numbered
|
|
one.
|
|
The selection order between realtime and non-realtime signals, or
|
|
between multiple pending non-realtime signals, is unspecified.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigqueue
|
|
system call
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
No resources are available to queue the signal.
|
|
The process has already
|
|
queued
|
|
.Brq Dv SIGQUEUE_MAX
|
|
signals that are still pending at the receiver(s),
|
|
or a system-wide resource limit has been exceeded.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The value of the
|
|
.Fa signo
|
|
argument is an invalid or unsupported signal number.
|
|
.It Bq Er EEPERM
|
|
The process does not have the appropriate privilege to send the signal
|
|
to the receiving process.
|
|
.It Bq Er ESRCH
|
|
The process
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
does not exist.
