sigwaitinfo, sigtimedwait - synchronously wait for queued signals
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int sigwaitinfo(const sigset_t *set, siginfo_t *info);
int sigtimedwait(const sigset_t *set, siginfo_t *info, const struct timespec timeout);
DESCRIPTION
sigwaitinfo() suspends execution of the calling process until one of the signals in set is delivered. (If one of the signals in set is
already pending for the calling process, sigwaitinfo() will return immediately with information about that signal.)
sigwaitinfo() removes the delivered signal from the calling process's list of pending signals and returns the signal number as its function
result. If the info argument is not NULL, then it returns a structure of type siginfo_t (see sigaction(2)) containing information about
the signal.
Signals returned via sigwaitinfo() are delivered in the usual order; see signal(7) for further details.
sigtimedwait() operates in exactly the same way as sigwaitinfo() except that it has an additional argument, timeout, which enables an upper
bound to be placed on the time for which the process is suspended. This argument is of the following type:
struct timespec {
long tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */
}
If both fields of this structure are specified as 0, a poll is performed: sigtimedwait() returns immediately, either with information about
a signal that was pending for the caller, or with an error if none of the signals in set was pending.
RETURN VALUE
On success, both sigwaitinfo() and sigtimedwait() return a signal number (i.e., a value greater than zero). On failure both calls return
-1, with errno set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EAGAIN No signal in set was delivered within the timeout period specified to sigtimedwait().
EINVAL timeout was invalid.
EINTR The wait was interrupted by a signal handler. (This handler was for a signal other than one of those in set.)
NOTES
In normal usage, the caller blocks the signals in set via a prior call to sigprocmask() (so that the default disposition for these signals
does not occur if they are delivered between successive calls to sigwaitinfo()or sigtimedwait()) and does not establish handlers for these
signals.
POSIX leaves the meaning of a NULL value for the timeout argument of sigtimedwait() unspecified, permitting the possibility that this has
the same meaning as a call to sigwaitinfo(), and indeed this is what is done on Linux.
