1) Any system calls between the SIGPIPE signal and what you use to print the message can change the value of errno.
2) I'm not sure it's valid yet inside the signal handler itself, either, errno may be set after it!
Usually, for sigpipe, you have an empty do-nothing signal handler, and handle EPIPE when the next read/write operation fails.

Hi
This is a exercise question from Unix network programming vol2.
Why the SIGPIPE signal is generated only for writers when readers disappear.

When a write() writes on a broken pipe, with no readers, it generates a SIGPIPE signal and the process exits.
When the write() returns -1 and errno is EPIPE?
Do I have an handler for SIGPIPE, or can I ignore it? (2 Replies)

sysv_signal
SYSV_SIGNAL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SYSV_SIGNAL(3)
NAME
sysv_signal - signal handling with System V semantics
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <signal.h>
typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);
sighandler_t sysv_signal(int signum, sighandler_t handler);
DESCRIPTION
The sysv_signal() function takes the same arguments, and performs the same task, as signal(2).
However sysv_signal() provides the System V unreliable signal semantics, that is: a) the disposition of the signal is reset to the default
when the handler is invoked; b) delivery of further instances of the signal is not blocked while the signal handler is executing; and c) if
the handler interrupts (certain) blocking system calls, then the system call is not automatically restarted.
RETURN VALUE
The sysv_signal() function returns the previous value of the signal handler, or SIG_ERR on error.
ERRORS
As for signal(2).
CONFORMING TO
This function is nonstandard.
NOTES
Use of sysv_signal() should be avoided; use sigaction(2) instead.
On older Linux systems, sysv_signal() and signal(2) were equivalent. But on newer systems, signal(2) provides reliable signal semantics;
see signal(2) for details.
The use of sighandler_t is a GNU extension; this type is defined only if the _GNU_SOURCE feature test macro is defined.

sigaction(2), signal(2), bsd_signal(3), signal(7)
