Typedef Documentation

stack_t

typedef struct [sigaltstack](sigaltstack.md) [stack_t](IPC.md#ga395f9ff4025fe05bb535322593abde72)

Description:

Describes a signal stack.

Describes stack information for signal processing.

Function Documentation

kill()

int kill (pid_t pid, int sig )

Description:

Sends a signal to a specified process.

Parameters:

Name

Description

pid Indicates the target process ID. Parameters 0 and -1 are not supported.
sig Indicates the signal to be sent.

Attention:

The default signal behavior does not support STOP and CONTINUE, and COREDUMP is not involved. SIGSTOP, SIGKILL, and SIGCONT cannot be masked. If a process is killed but its parent process is not recycled, a zombie process will be generated. After an asynchronous signal is sent to a process, the signal callback is executed only after the process is scheduled. The kernel cannot forcibly kill the process by using the signal. After the process is killed, SIGCHLD is sent to its parent process. The sending action cannot be canceled. A sleeping process cannot be woken up by a signal. For example, a process invokes the sleep function to enter the sleeping state. Currently, suspended and zombie processes cannot be forcibly killed.

Returns:

Returns 0 if the operation is successful; returns -1 and sets errno to a value in the following table if the operation fails.

errno

Description

EINVAL

sig is invalid.
