.B RLIMIT_SIGPENDING
Specifies the limit on the number of signals (see
.BR sigqueue (2)
and
.BR signal (7))
Specifies the limit on the number of signals
that may be queued for the real user ID of the calling process.
Both standard and real-time signals are counted for the purpose of
checking this limit.
However, the limit is only enforced for
.BR sigqueue (2);
it is always possible to use
.BR kill (2)
to queue one instance of any of the signals that are not already
queued to the process.
(Since Linux 2.6.8.)
.\" This replaces the /proc/sys/kernel/rtsig-max system-wide limit
.\" that was present in kernels <= 2.6.7. MTK Dec 04
