   sigqueue    ( 3 )

---

Имя (Name)

sigqueue - queue a signal and data to a process

---

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <signal.h>

       int sigqueue(pid_t pid, int sig, const union sigval value);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):

       sigqueue():
           _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L

---

Описание (Description)

sigqueue() sends the signal specified in sig to the process whose
       PID is given in pid.  The permissions required to send a signal
       are the same as for kill(2).  As with kill(2), the null signal
       (0) can be used to check if a process with a given PID exists.

       The value argument is used to specify an accompanying item of
       data (either an integer or a pointer value) to be sent with the
       signal, and has the following type:

           union sigval {
               int   sival_int;
               void *sival_ptr;
           };

       If the receiving process has installed a handler for this signal
       using the SA_SIGINFO flag to sigaction(2), then it can obtain
       this data via the si_value field of the siginfo_t structure
       passed as the second argument to the handler.  Furthermore, the
       si_code field of that structure will be set to SI_QUEUE.

---

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, sigqueue() returns 0, indicating that the signal was
       successfully queued to the receiving process.  Otherwise, -1 is
       returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

---

Ошибки (Error)

EAGAIN The limit of signals which may be queued has been reached.
              (See signal(7) for further information.)

       EINVAL sig was invalid.

       EPERM  The process does not have permission to send the signal to
              the receiving process.  For the required permissions, see
              kill(2).

       ESRCH  No process has a PID matching pid.

Версии (Versions)

sigqueue() and the underlying rt_sigqueueinfo(2) system call
       first appeared in Linux 2.2.

Примечание (Note)

If this function results in the sending of a signal to the
       process that invoked it, and that signal was not blocked by the
       calling thread, and no other threads were willing to handle this
       signal (either by having it unblocked, or by waiting for it using
       sigwait(3)), then at least some signal must be delivered to this
       thread before this function returns.

   C library/kernel differences
       On Linux, sigqueue() is implemented using the rt_sigqueueinfo(2)
       system call.  The system call differs in its third argument,
       which is the siginfo_t structure that will be supplied to the
       receiving process's signal handler or returned by the receiving
       process's sigtimedwait(2) call.  Inside the glibc sigqueue()
       wrapper, this argument, uinfo, is initialized as follows:

           uinfo.si_signo = sig;      /* Argument supplied to sigqueue() */
           uinfo.si_code = SI_QUEUE;
           uinfo.si_pid = getpid();   /* Process ID of sender */
           uinfo.si_uid = getuid();   /* Real UID of sender */
           uinfo.si_value = val;      /* Argument supplied to sigqueue() */
