typedef /* unspecified */ sig_atomic_t; |
An integer type which can be accessed as an atomic entity even in the presence of asynchronous interrupts made by signals.
#include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> volatile sig_atomic_t gSignalStatus = 0; void signal_handler(int signal) { gSignalStatus = signal; } int main(void) { /* Install a signal handler. */ signal(SIGINT, signal_handler); printf("SignalValue: %d\n", gSignalStatus); printf("Sending signal %d\n", SIGINT); raise(SIGINT); printf("SignalValue: %d\n", gSignalStatus); }
Possible output:
SignalValue: 0 Sending signal 2 SignalValue: 2
sets a signal handler for particular signal (function) |
