Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Dt SIGINTERRUPT 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm siginterrupt
|
|
.Nd allow signals to interrupt system calls
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In signal.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn siginterrupt "int sig" "int flag"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn siginterrupt
|
|
function
|
|
is used to change the system call restart
|
|
behavior when a system call is interrupted by the specified signal.
|
|
If the flag is false (0), then system calls will be restarted if
|
|
they are interrupted by the specified signal
|
|
and no data has been transferred yet.
|
|
System call restart has been the default behavior since
|
|
.Bx 4.2 ,
|
|
and is the default behaviour for
|
|
.Xr signal 3
|
|
on
|
|
.Fx .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the flag is true (1),
|
|
then restarting of system calls is disabled.
|
|
If a system call is interrupted by the specified signal
|
|
and no data has been transferred,
|
|
the system call will return \-1 with the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
set to
|
|
.Er EINTR .
|
|
Interrupted system calls that have started transferring
|
|
data will return the amount of data actually transferred.
|
|
System call interrupt is the signal behavior found on
|
|
.Bx 4.1
|
|
and
|
|
.At V
|
|
systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the new
|
|
.Bx 4.2
|
|
signal handling semantics are not
|
|
altered in any other way.
|
|
Most notably, signal handlers always remain installed until
|
|
explicitly changed by a subsequent
|
|
.Xr sigaction 2
|
|
call, and the signal mask operates as documented in
|
|
.Xr sigaction 2 .
|
|
Programs may switch between restartable and interruptible
|
|
system call operation as often as desired in the execution of a program.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Issuing a
|
|
.Fn siginterrupt 3
|
|
call during the execution of a signal handler will cause
|
|
the new action to take place on the next signal to be caught.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
This library routine uses an extension of the
|
|
.Xr sigaction 2
|
|
system call that is not available in
|
|
.Bx 4.2 ,
|
|
hence it should not be used if backward compatibility is needed.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std siginterrupt
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn siginterrupt
|
|
call fails if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sig
|
|
argument
|
|
is not a valid signal number.
