| |
Hi,
How does one post signals from the kernel (whether synchronous or asynchronous) to a task and use the POSIX sigqueueing mechanism to queue events, so that an app. can pick them up using SA_SIGQUEUE and sigaction?
What I'm wanting to do is to generate asynchrounous I/O events, and then pass information that they occured back to the application, via SIGIO. However, many parts of the application can generate different 'events', so I want to use the SIGQUEUE mechanism to differentiate.
Thanks in advance, Christopher Boyd
