Usage of exit() inside a signal handler

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...

First time trying to work with signals in Perl. Reviewing example I try it, but not able to get it work for 'exit'. I hope, I am correct, assuming, that the ending any code by exit $return_code; the $SIG{EXIT} should be de-referenced and processed?! So, I have such code, that, I assume,...

NETSNMP_TRAP_API(3)						     Net-SNMP						       NETSNMP_TRAP_API(3)

NAME

       send_easy_trap, send_trap_vars, send_v2trap - send TRAPs or INFORMs from a Net-SNMP MIB module

SYNOPSIS

       #include <net-snmp/agent/agent_trap.h>

       void send_easy_trap(int trap, int specific);

       void send_trap_vars(int trap, int specific, struct variable_list *vars);

       void send_v2trap(struct variable_list *vars);

DESCRIPTION

       These three routines may be used to send traps from a MIB module within the Net-SNMP agent (including an AgentX subagent).

       send_easy_trap()  sends	an SNMPv1 trap (or the SNMPv2 equivalent) to the list of configured trap destinations (or "sinks"), using the pro-
       vided values for the generic trap type, and specific trap value.

       send_trap_vars() is similar, but appends the supplied list of variable bindings to the traps that are sent.

       send_v2trap() uses the supplied list of variable bindings to form an SNMPv2 trap, which is sent to SNMPv2-capable sinks on  the	configured
       list.  An equivalent INFORM is sent to the configuredq list of inform sinks.  Sinks that can only handle SNMPv1 traps are skipped.

       The  various "send_trap()" calls allow you to specify traps in different formats.  And the various "trapsink" directives allow you to spec-
       ify destinations to receive different formats.  But *all* traps are sent to *all* destinations, regardless of how they were specified.
       I.e. it's
						___  trapsink
					       /
	   send_easy_trap ___  [  Trap	    ] ____  trap2sink
			   ___	[ Generator  ]
	   send_v2trap	  /	[	     ] ----- informsink
					       ____
						     trapsess

       *Not*
	    send_easy_trap  ------------------->  trapsink
	    send_v2trap     ------------------->  trap2sink
	    ????	    ------------------->  informsink
	    ????	    ------------------->  trapsess

WARNINGS

       These routines are used to send the traps immediately they are called.  Invoking them at the appropriate time is left  to  the  MIB  module
       programmer.
