! .SH SYNOPSIS
! .LP
! .nf
! #include <signal.h>
!
! \fBvoid\fR (\fB*bsd_signal(int\fR \fIsig\fR, \fBvoid\fR (*\fIfunc\fR)(\fBint\fR)))(\fBint\fR);
! .fi
!
! .SH DESCRIPTION
! .sp
! .LP
! The \fBbsd_signal()\fR function provides a partially compatible interface for
! programs written to historical system interfaces (see \fBUSAGE\fR below).
! .sp
! .LP
! The function call \fBbsd_signal\fR(\fIsig\fR, \fIfunc\fR) has an effect as if
! implemented as:
! .sp
! .in +2
! .nf
void (*bsd_signal(int sig, void (*func)\|(int)))\|(int)
{
struct sigaction act, oact;
! act.sa_handler = \fIfunc\fR;
act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
sigemptyset(&act.sa_mask);
! sigaddset(&act.sa_mask, \fIsig\fR);
! if (sigaction(\fIsig\fR, &act, &oact) == \(mi1)
! return(\fBSIG_ERR\fR);
return(oact.sa_handler);
}
! .fi
! .in -2
!
! .sp
! .LP
The handler function should be declared:
! .sp
! .in +2
! .nf
! void handler(int \fIsig\fR);
! .fi
! .in -2
!
! .sp
! .LP
! where \fIsig\fR is the signal number. The behavior is undefined if \fIfunc\fR
is a function that takes more than one argument, or an argument of a different
type.
! .SH RETURN VALUES
! .sp
! .LP
! Upon successful completion, \fBbsd_signal()\fR returns the previous action for
! \fIsig\fR. Otherwise, \fBSIG_ERR\fR is returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to
! indicate the error.
! .SH ERRORS
! .sp
! .LP
! Refer to \fBsigaction\fR(2).
! .SH USAGE
! .sp
! .LP
! This function is a direct replacement for the \fBBSD\fR \fBsignal\fR(3UCB)
function for simple applications that are installing a single-argument signal
! handler function. If a \fBBSD\fR signal handler function is being installed
that expects more than one argument, the application has to be modified to use
! \fBsigaction\fR(2). The \fBbsd_signal()\fR function differs from
! \fBsignal\fR(3UCB) in that the \fBSA_RESTART\fR flag is set and the
! \fBSA_RESETHAND\fR will be clear when \fBbsd_signal()\fR is used. The state of
! these flags is not specified for \fBsignal\fR(3UCB).
