Is it ok to use exit() inside a signal handler?
I catch SIGUSR1 in a signal handler and I try to close a file and then exit. The result is inconsistent. Sometimes the process exit and sometimes it returns to the original state before the signal handler was invoked.
Perhaps exit is not legal in... (8 Replies)

Hi,
I have a daq program that runs in an infinite loop until it receives SIGINT. A handler catches the signal and sets a flag to stop the while loop. After the loop some things have to be cleaned up.
The problem is that I want my main while loop to wait until the next full second begins, to... (2 Replies)

I was working on some Perl code that does signal handling and I came across this one liner and wasn't sure what it was doing.
local $SIG{__DIE__} = sub {$! = 2; die $_;};
I think the first part of the anonymous subroutine is setting $! to 2, but I am not sure what the second part is doing. ... (1 Reply)

alarm
ALARM(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ALARM(3) NAME
alarm -- set signal timer alarm LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> unsigned int alarm(unsigned int seconds); DESCRIPTION
This interface is made obsolete by setitimer(2). The alarm() function sets a timer to deliver the signal SIGALRM to the calling process seconds after the call to alarm(). If an alarm has already been set with alarm() but has not been delivered, another call to alarm() will supersede the prior call. The request alarm(0) voids the current alarm and the signal SIGALRM will not be delivered. The maximum number of seconds allowed is 2147483647. The return value of alarm() is the amount of time left on the timer from a previous call to alarm(). If no alarm is currently set, the return value is 0. If there is an error setting the timer, alarm() returns ((unsigned int) -1). SEE ALSO
setitimer(2), sigaction(2), sigsuspend(2), signal(3), sigvec(3), sleep(3), ualarm(3), usleep(3) STANDARDS
The alarm() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1''). HISTORY
An alarm() function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX. BSD
April 19, 1994 BSD
