pthread_sigqueue(3) - Linux man page
Name
pthread_sigqueue - queue a signal and data to a thread
Synopsis
#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
Description
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.
Return Value
On success, pthread_sigqueue() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.
