pthread_sigqueue − queue a signal and data to a thread
#include <pthread.h>
int
pthread_sigqueue(pthread_t *thread, int
sig,
const union sigval value);
Compile and link with −pthread.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
pthread_sigqueue(): _GNU_SOURCE
The pthread_sigqueue() function performs a similar task to sigqueue(3), but, rather than sending a signal to a process, it sends a signal to a thread in the same process as the calling thread.
The thread argument is the ID of a thread in the same process as the caller. The sig argument specifies the signal to be sent. The value argument specifies data to accompany the signal; see sigqueue(3) for details.
On success, pthread_sigqueue() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.
EAGAIN |
The limit of signals which may be queued has been reached. (See signal(7) for further information.) | ||
EINVAL |
sig was invalid. | ||
ENOSYS |
pthread_sigqueue() is not supported on this system. | ||
ESRCH |
thread is not valid. |
The pthread_sigqueue() function first appeared in glibc 2.11.
This function is a GNU extension.
