NAME

SYNOPSIS

ARGUMENTS

INTEGER SIGNO

The signal whose handler is modified.

INTEGER HANDLER

The address of a signal handler.

DESCRIPTION

The GRPC_SIGNAL_HANDLER_SET_NP() function modifies signal dispositions for Ninf-G Client.

Procedures for signal handling differs according to environments and a signal to be processed.

• The Ninf-G compiled with Pthread

  Ninf-G has signal handling thread which supports the signals except SIGKILL, SIGSEGV, SIGABRT, SIGBUS, SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGIOT, SIGPIPE, SIGEMT, SIGSYS, SIGTRAP, SIGSTOP, SIGCONT and SIGWAITING.

  If SIGNO is supported by a Ninf-G signal handling thread, HANDLER is called by the signal handling thread. Otherwise, HANDLER is called as a signal handler registered by sigaction().

  Note: For pthread flavor on MacOS X, Ninf-G Client processes SIGSTP as well.

• The Ninf-G compiled with non thread.

  sig_handler is called as a signal handler registered by sigaction().

It is unsafe to call some system calls from the signal handler registered by sigaction(). A list of safe system calls is available on the following web page and IEEE Std 1003.1(POSIX).
