NAME

       bsdproc: killpg(), getpgrp(), setpgrp(), signal(), sigvec() - 4.2 BSD-compatible process control facilities

SYNOPSIS

   Obsolescent Interfaces
DESCRIPTION

       These  calls  simulate (and are provided for backward compatibility with) functions of the same name in the 4.2 Berkeley Software Distribu-
       tion.

       This version of is equivalent to the system call (see setpgid(2)).

       This version of is equivalent to the system call (see getpid(2)).

       is equivalent to the system call (see kill(2)).

       The function is no longer supported.  Please see the manpage for sigaction(2).

       This version of has the same effect as , where vec->sv_handler is equal to func, vec->sv_mask is equal to 0, and vec->sv_flags is equal	to
       0.   returns  the value that would be stored in ovec->sv_handler if the equivalent call would have succeeded.  Otherwise, returns -1 and is
       set to indicate the reason as it would have been set by the equivalent call to

       For applications that use BSD signal, it is recommended that they use sigaction(2).  The system supports an alternative with similar behav-
       ior to Berkeley Software Distribution, and the API is but its use is not recommended.

WARNINGS

       While  the  4.3	BSD  release defined extensions to some of the interfaces described here, only the 4.2 BSD interfaces are emulated by this
       package.

       should not be used in conjunction with the facilities described under sigset(3C).

   Obsolescent Interfaces
       The function is no longer supported.  Please see the manpage for sigaction(2).

APPLICATION USAGE

   Threads Considerations
       The signal disposition (such as catch/ignore/default) established by and is shared by all threads in the process.

       For more information regarding signals and threads, refer to signal(5).
