Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text. Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the entire enclosed block.

|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/signalvar.h>
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn psignal "struct proc *p" "int signum"

.Fn gsignal "int pgid" "int signum"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions post a signal to one or more processes.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa signum
|
|
common to all three functions should be in the range
|
|
.Bq 1- Ns Dv NSIG .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
|
function posts signal number
|
|
.Fa signum
|
|
to the process represented by the process structure
|
|
.Fa p .
|
|
With a few exceptions noted below, the target process signal disposition is
|
|
updated and is marked as runnable, so further handling of the signal is done
|
|
in the context of the target process after a context switch.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
|
does not by itself cause a context switch to happen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The target process is not marked as runnable in the following cases:
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
The target process is sleeping uninterruptibly.
|
|
The signal will be
|
|
noticed when the process returns from the system call or trap.
|
|
.It
|
|
The target process is currently ignoring the signal.
|
|
.It
|
|
If a stop signal is sent to a sleeping process that takes the
|
|
default action
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr sigaction 2 ) ,
|
|
the process is stopped without awakening it.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Dv SIGCONT
|
|
restarts a stopped process
|
|
(or puts them back to sleep)
|
|
regardless of the signal action
|
|
(e.g., blocked or ignored).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the target process is being traced
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
|
behaves as if the target process were taking the default action for
|
|
.Fa signum .
|
|
This allows the tracing process to be notified of the signal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pgsignal
|
|
function posts signal number
|
|
.Fa signum
|
|
to each member of the process group described by
|
|
.Fa pgrp .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa checkctty
|
|
is non-zero, the signal will be posted only to processes that have
|
|
a controlling terminal.
|
|
.Fn pgsignal
|
|
is implemented by walking along the process list headed by the field
|
|
.Li pg_members
|
|
of the process group structure
|
|
pointed at by
|
|
.Fa pgrp
|
|
and calling
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
|
as appropriate.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa pgrp
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
no action is taken.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn gsignal
|
|
function posts signal number
|
|
.Fa signum
|
|
to each member of the process group identified by the group id
|
|
.Fa pgid .
|
|
.Fn gsignal
|
|
first finds the group structure associated with
|
|
.Fa pgid ,
|
|
then invokes
|
|
.Fn pgsignal
|
|
with the argument
|
|
.Fa checkctty
|
|
set to zero.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa pgid
|
|
is zero no action is taken.
