Описание (Description)
These functions are provided in glibc as a compatibility
interface for programs that make use of the historical BSD signal
API. This API is obsolete: new applications should use the POSIX
signal API (sigaction(2), sigprocmask(2), etc.).
The sigvec
() function sets and/or gets the disposition of the
signal sig (like the POSIX sigaction(2)). If vec is not NULL, it
points to a sigvec structure that defines the new disposition for
sig. If ovec is not NULL, it points to a sigvec structure that
is used to return the previous disposition of sig. To obtain the
current disposition of sig without changing it, specify NULL for
vec, and a non-null pointer for ovec.
The dispositions for SIGKILL
and SIGSTOP
cannot be changed.
The sigvec structure has the following form:
struct sigvec {
void (*sv_handler)(int); /* Signal disposition */
int sv_mask; /* Signals to be blocked in handler */
int sv_flags; /* Flags */
};
The sv_handler field specifies the disposition of the signal, and
is either: the address of a signal handler function; SIG_DFL
,
meaning the default disposition applies for the signal; or
SIG_IGN
, meaning that the signal is ignored.
If sv_handler specifies the address of a signal handler, then
sv_mask specifies a mask of signals that are to be blocked while
the handler is executing. In addition, the signal for which the
handler is invoked is also blocked. Attempts to block SIGKILL
or
SIGSTOP
are silently ignored.
If sv_handler specifies the address of a signal handler, then the
sv_flags field specifies flags controlling what happens when the
handler is called. This field may contain zero or more of the
following flags:
SV_INTERRUPT
If the signal handler interrupts a blocking system call,
then upon return from the handler the system call is not
restarted: instead it fails with the error EINTR
. If this
flag is not specified, then system calls are restarted by
default.
SV_RESETHAND
Reset the disposition of the signal to the default before
calling the signal handler. If this flag is not
specified, then the handler remains established until
explicitly removed by a later call to sigvec
() or until
the process performs an execve(2).
SV_ONSTACK
Handle the signal on the alternate signal stack
(historically established under BSD using the obsolete
sigstack
() function; the POSIX replacement is
sigaltstack(2)).
The sigmask
() macro constructs and returns a "signal mask" for
signum. For example, we can initialize the vec.sv_mask field
given to sigvec
() using code such as the following:
vec.sv_mask = sigmask(SIGQUIT) | sigmask(SIGABRT);
/* Block SIGQUIT and SIGABRT during
handler execution */
The sigblock
() function adds the signals in mask to the process's
signal mask (like POSIX sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK)), and returns the
process's previous signal mask. Attempts to block SIGKILL
or
SIGSTOP
are silently ignored.
The sigsetmask
() function sets the process's signal mask to the
value given in mask (like POSIX sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK)), and
returns the process's previous signal mask.
The siggetmask
() function returns the process's current signal
mask. This call is equivalent to sigblock
(0).
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
The sigvec
() function returns 0 on success; on error, it returns
-1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
The sigblock
() and sigsetmask
() functions return the previous
signal mask.
The sigmask
() macro returns the signal mask for signum.
Ошибки (Error)
See the ERRORS under sigaction(2) and sigprocmask(2).
Версии (Versions)
Starting with version 2.21, the GNU C library no longer exports
the sigvec
() function as part of the ABI. (To ensure backward
compatibility, the glibc symbol versioning scheme continues to
export the interface to binaries linked against older versions of
the library.)

Стандарты (Conforming to)
All of these functions were in 4.3BSD, except siggetmask
(), whose
origin is unclear. These functions are obsolete: do not use them
in new programs.
Примечание (Note)
On 4.3BSD, the signal
() function provided reliable semantics (as
when calling sigvec
() with vec.sv_mask equal to 0). On System V,
signal
() provides unreliable semantics. POSIX.1 leaves these
aspects of signal
() unspecified. See signal(2) for further
details.
In order to wait for a signal, BSD and System V both provided a
function named sigpause(3), but this function has a different
argument on the two systems. See sigpause(3) for details.
