使用 sigaction 設定訊號處理程式並使用 raise 來提升訊號

為了使程式對某個訊號作出反應，除了使用預設動作之外，可以使用 sigaction 安裝自定義訊號處理程式。sigaction 接收三個引數 - 訊號作用於，sigaction_t 結構的指標，如果不是 NULL，正在描述新行為和指向 sigaction_t 的指標，如果不是 NULL 將填充舊行為（因此可以恢復它）。使用 raise 方法可以在同一過程中提升訊號。如果需要更多控制（將訊號傳送到其他程序，可以使用 kill 或 pthread_kill，它接受目標程序 ID 或執行緒 ID）。

// Signals are numbered from 1, signal 0 doesn't exist
volatile sig_atomic_t last_received_signal = 0;

// Signal handler, will set the global variable
// to indicate what is the last signal received.
// There should be as less work as possible inside
// signal handler routine, and one must take care only
// to call reentrant functions (in case of signal arriving
// while program is already executing same function)
void signal_catcher(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context)
{
    last_received_signal = info->si_signo;
}

int main (int argc, char** argv)
{
    // Setup a signal handler for SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
    struct sigaction act;
    memset(&act, 0, sizeof act);

    // sigact structure holding old configuration
    // (will be filled by sigaction):
    struct sigaction old_1;
    memset(&old_1, 0, sizeof old_1);
    struct sigaction old_2;
    memset(&old_2, 0, sizeof old_2);

    act.sa_sigaction = signal_catcher;

        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    if (0 != sigaction(SIGUSR2, &act, &old_2))
    {
        perror("sigaction() failed installing SIGUSR2 handler");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    // Main body of "work" during which two signals
    // will be raised, after 5 and 10 seconds, and which

        if (i == 10)

    if (0 != sigaction(SIGUSR1, &old_1, NULL))

    }

}

這輸出：

Tick #1, last caught signal: 0
Tick #2, last caught signal: 0
Tick #3, last caught signal: 0
Tick #4, last caught signal: 0
Tick #5, last caught signal: 30
Tick #6, last caught signal: 30
Tick #7, last caught signal: 30
Tick #8, last caught signal: 30
Tick #9, last caught signal: 30
Tick #10, last caught signal: 31
Tick #11, last caught signal: 31
Tick #12, last caught signal: 31
Tick #13, last caught signal: 31
Tick #14, last caught signal: 31
Tick #15, last caught signal: 31
