NAME
pthread_sigqueue − queue a signal and data to a thread
SYNOPSIS
#include
<signal.h>
#include <pthread.h>
int
pthread_sigqueue(pthread_t thread, int
sig,
const union sigval value);
Compile and link with −pthread.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
pthread_sigqueue(): _GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_sigqueue() function performs a similar task to sigqueue(3), but, rather than sending a signal to a process, it sends a signal to a thread in the same process as the calling thread.
The thread argument is the ID of a thread in the same process as the caller. The sig argument specifies the signal to be sent. The value argument specifies data to accompany the signal; see sigqueue(3) for details.
RETURN VALUE
On success, pthread_sigqueue() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.
ERRORS
|
EAGAIN |
The limit of signals which may be queued has been reached. (See signal(7) for further information.) | ||
|
EINVAL |
sig was invalid. | ||
|
ENOSYS |
pthread_sigqueue() is not supported on this system. | ||
|
ESRCH |
thread is not valid. |
VERSIONS
