Linux cli command ssignal

➡ A Linux man page (short for manual page) is a form of software documentation found on Linux and Unix-like operating systems. This man-page explains the command ssignal and provides detailed information about the command ssignal, system calls, library functions, and other aspects of the system, including usage, options, and examples of _. You can access this man page by typing man followed by the ssignal.

NAME 🖥️ ssignal 🖥️

software signal facility

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <signal.h>
typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);
[[deprecated]] int gsignal(int signum);
[[deprecated]] sighandler_t ssignal(int signum, sighandler_t action);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

gsignal(), ssignal():

    Since glibc 2.19:
        _DEFAULT_SOURCE
    glibc 2.19 and earlier:
        _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

Don’t use these functions under Linux. Due to a historical mistake, under Linux these functions are aliases for raise(3) and signal(2), respectively.

Elsewhere, on System V-like systems, these functions implement software signaling, entirely independent of the classical signal(2) and kill(2) functions. The function ssignal() defines the action to take when the software signal with number signum is raised using the function gsignal(), 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 argument signum, and returns the value returned by that function. The range of possible values signum varies (often 1–15 or 1–17).

AIX, DG/UX, HP-UX, SCO, Solaris, Tru64. They are called obsolete under most of these systems, and are broken under glibc. Some systems also have gsignal_r() and ssignal_r().
