The null signal can be used to check the +validity of pid. +.Pp +The conditions required for a process to have permission to queue a +signal to another process are the same as for the +.Fn kill +function. +The +.Fn sigqueue +function queues a signal to a single process specified by the pid argument. +.Pp +The sigqueue() function returns immediately. If the resources were +available to queue the signal, the signal will be queued and sent to +the receiving process. +.Pp +If the value of +.Fa pid +causes +.Fa signo +to be generated for the sending process, and if +.Fa signo +is not blocked for the calling thread and if no other thread has +.Fa signo +unblocked or is waiting in a +.Fn sigwait +function for +.Fa signo, either +.Fa signo +or at least the pending, unblocked signal will be delivered to the +calling thread before the +.Fn sigqueue +function returns. Should any multiple pending signals in the range +SIGRTMIN to SIGRTMAX be selected for delivery, it is the lowest numbered +one. The selection order between realtime and non-realtime signals, or +between multiple pending non-realtime signals, is unspecified. +.Sh RETURN VALUES +Upon successful completion, the specified signal has been queued, and +the +.Fn sigqueue +function returns a value of zero. Otherwise, the function returns a value +of -1 and set errno to indicate the error. +.Sh ERRORS +The +.Fn sigqueue +will fail if: +.Bl -tag -width Er +.It Bq Er EAGAIN +No resources are available to queue the signal. The process has already +queued {SIGQUEUE_MAX} signals that are still pending at the receiver(s), +or a system-wide resource limit has been exceeded. +.It Bq Er EINVAL +The value of the +.Fa signo +argument is an invalid or unsupported signal number. +.It Bq Er EEPERM +The process does not have the appropriate privilege to send the signal +to the receiving process. +.It Bq Er ESRCH +The process pid does not exist. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr sigwait 2 , +.Xr sigtimedwait 2 , +.Xr sigwaitinfo 2 , +.Xr sigqueue 2 , +.Xr sigaction 2 , +.Xr sigpending 2 , +.Xr sigsuspend 2 , +.Xr pause 3 , +.Xr pthread_sigmask 3 +.Sh STANDARDS +The +.Fn sigqueue +function conforms to +.St -p1003.1-96 . |
