I wrote myself a small little shell script to clean up a file I have issues with. In particular, I am stripping down a fully qualified host/domain name to just the hostname itself. The script works, but from a performance standpoint, it's not very fast and I will be working with large data sets.

siginterrupt
siginterrupt(3C) Standard C Library Functions siginterrupt(3C)
NAME
siginterrupt - allow signals to interrupt functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int siginterrupt(int sig, int flag);
DESCRIPTION
The siginterrupt() function changes the restart behavior when a function is interrupted by the specified signal. The function siginter-
rupt(sig, flag) has an effect as if implemented as:
siginterrupt(int sig, int flag) {
int ret;
struct sigaction act;
(void) sigaction(sig, NULL, &act);
if (flag)
act.sa_flags &= SA_RESTART;
else
act.sa_flags |= SA_RESTART;
ret = sigaction(sig, &act, NULL);
return ret;
}
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, siginterrupt() returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The siginterrupt() function will fail if:
EINVAL The sig argument is not a valid signal number.
USAGE
The siginterrupt() function supports programs written to historical system interfaces. A standard-conforming application, when being writ-
ten or rewritten, should use sigaction(2) with the SA_RESTART flag instead of siginterrupt().
