GSIGNAL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GSIGNAL(3)NAME
gsignal, ssignal - software signal facility
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);
int gsignal(signum);
sighandler_t ssignal(int signum, sighandler_t action);
DESCRIPTION
Don't use these functions under Linux. Due to a historical mistake, under Linux these functions are aliases for raise() and signal(),
respectively.
Elsewhere, on SYSV-like systems, these functions implement software signalling, entirely independent of the classical signal and kill func-
tions. The function ssignal() defines the action to take when the software signal with number signum is raised using the function gsig-
nal(), and returns the previous such action or SIG_DFL. The function gsignal() does the following: if no action (or the action SIG_DFL)
was specified for signum, then it does nothing and returns 0. If the action SIG_IGN was specified for signum, then it does nothing and
returns 1. Otherwise, it resets the action to SIG_DFL and calls the action function with parameter signum, and returns the value returned
by that function. The range of possible values signum varies (often 1-15 or 1-17).
CONFORMING TO
SVID2, XPG2. These functions are available under AIX, DG-UX, HPUX, SCO, Solaris, Tru64. They are called obsolete under most of these sys-
tems, and are broken under Linux libc and glibc. Some systems also have gsignal_r() and ssignal_r().

I'm not sure that this has been asked (I did a quick search) but what is the more popular OS? Not your favorite but more on a business level. The versions would be Solaris, HP/UX, AIX, Linux (what ever version).
I would make a poll, but not sure how to.
Thanks. (3 Replies)
I would like to port a small utility from Linux to AIX and, lacking any software development knowledge for AIX, need some help:
I have a library called Snoopy. Basically it intercepts the execv() and execve() system calls and logs them to the syslog-facility AUTHPRIV then passes control over to... (1 Reply)
I have experience with making bootable images of AIX systems using mksysb and wondered if there was some type of equivalent software for Linux. Or perhaps some of the folks here have alternatives or unique ideas for how they are backing up their Linux systems enabling them to recover them as... (13 Replies)
