.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.BR siginterrupt ()
|
2007-06-08 09:56:56 +00:00
|
|
|
function changes the restart behavior when
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
a system call is interrupted by the signal \fIsig\fP.
|
|
|
|
If the \fIflag\fP
|
|
|
|
argument is false (0), then system calls will be restarted if interrupted
|
|
|
|
by the specified signal \fIsig\fP.
|
2007-06-08 09:56:56 +00:00
|
|
|
This is the default behavior in Linux.

|
.PP
|
2007-12-10 14:44:59 +00:00
|
|
|
If the \fIflag\fP argument is true (1) and no data has been transferred,
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
then a system call interrupted by the signal \fIsig\fP will return \-1
|
2009-02-23 02:34:12 +00:00
|
|
|
and \fIerrno\fP will be set to
|
2007-12-10 14:44:59 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR EINTR .

|
|
If the \fIflag\fP argument is true (1) and data transfer has started,
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
then the system call will be interrupted and will return the actual
|
|
|
|
amount of data transferred.
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
2007-05-12 09:06:04 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.BR siginterrupt ()
|
|
|
|
function returns 0 on success, or \-1 if the
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
signal number \fIsig\fP is invalid.
|
|
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
|
|
The specified signal number is invalid.
