.Dt SIGTIMEDWAIT 2
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm sigtimedwait , sigwaitinfo
|
|
.Nd "wait for queued signals (REALTIME)"
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In signal.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fo sigtimedwait
|
|
.Fa "const sigset_t *restrict set" "siginfo_t *restrict info"
|
|
.Fa "const struct timespec *restrict timeout"
|
|
.Fc
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sigwaitinfo "const sigset_t * restrict set" "siginfo_t * restrict info"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigtimedwait
|
|
system call is equivalent to
|
|
.Fn sigwaitinfo
|
|
except that if none of the signals specified by
|
|
.Fa set
|
|
are pending,
|
|
.Fn sigtimedwait
|
|
waits for the time interval specified in the
|
|
.Vt timespec
|
|
structure referenced by
|
|
.Fa timeout .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Vt timespec
|
|
structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
is zero-valued and if none of the signals specified by
|
|
.Fa set
|
|
are pending, then
|
|
.Fn sigtimedwait
|
|
returns immediately with an error.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
is the
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer, the behavior is unspecified.
|
|
.Dv CLOCK_MONOTONIC
|
|
clock is used to measure the time interval specified by the
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
argument.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigwaitinfo
|
|
system call selects the pending signal from the set specified by
|
|
.Fa set .
|
|
Should any of multiple pending signals in the range
|
|
.Dv SIGRTMIN
|
|
to
|
|
.Dv SIGRTMAX
|
|
be selected, it shall be the lowest numbered one.
|
|
The
|
|
selection order between realtime and non-realtime signals, or
|
|
between multiple pending non-realtime signals, is unspecified.
|
|
If no signal in
|
|
.Fa set
|
|
is pending at the time of the call, the calling thread
|
|
is suspended until one or more signals in
|
|
.Fa set
|
|
become pending or until it is interrupted by an unblocked, caught signal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigwaitinfo
|
|
system call is equivalent to the
|
|
.Fn sigwait
|
|
system call if the
|
|
.Fa info
|
|
argument is
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa info
|
|
argument is
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn sigwaitinfo
|
|
function is equivalent to
|
|
.Fn sigwait ,
|
|
except that the selected signal number shall be stored in the
|
|
.Va si_signo
|
|
member, and the cause of the signal shall be stored in the
|
|
.Va si_code
|
|
member.
|
|
Besides this, the
|
|
.Fn sigwaitinfo
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sigtimedwait
|
|
system calls may return
|
|
.Er EINTR
|
|
if interrupted by signal, which is not allowed for the
|
|
.Fn sigwait
|
|
function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If any value is queued to the selected signal, the first such queued
|
|
value is dequeued and, if the info argument is
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL ,
|
|
the value is stored in the
|
|
.Va si_value
|
|
member of
|
|
.Fa info .
|
|
The system resource used to queue the signal
|
|
is released and returned to the system for other use.
|
|
If no value is queued,
|
|
the content of the
|
|
.Va si_value
|
|
member is zero-valued.
|
|
If no further signals are
|
|
queued for the selected signal, the pending indication for that signal
|
|
is reset.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion (that is, one of the signals specified by
|
|
.Fa set
|
|
is pending or is generated)
|
|
.Fn sigwaitinfo
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sigtimedwait
|
|
return the selected signal number.
|
|
Otherwise, the functions return a value of \-1
|
|
and set the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigtimedwait
|
|
system call
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
No signal specified by set was generated within the specified timeout period.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigtimedwait
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn sigwaitinfo
|
|
system calls fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
The wait was interrupted by an unblocked, caught signal.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
Any arguments point outside the allocated address space or there is a
|
|
memory protection fault.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.El
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigtimedwait
|
|
system call may also fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa timeout
|
|
argument specified a
|
|
.Va tv_nsec
|
|
value less than zero or greater than or equal
|
|
to 1000 million.
|
|
Kernel only checks for this error if no signal is pending in set and it
|
|
is necessary to wait.
