Actions of the default signal handler

Handling of SignalsHandling of SignalsAPUE (Signals)

Disposition or action:Process has to tell the kernel “if and when this signal occurs, do the g ,following.”

Ignore the signal:all signals can be ignored, except SIGKILL and SIGSTOP g g , p

Catch the signal:Catch the signal:Call a function of ours when a signal occurs.

Let the default action apply:most are to terminate process


most are to terminate process

Representative UNIX Signals (1/2)Representative UNIX Signals (1/2)APUE (Signals)

SIGART : generated by calling the abort function.

SIGALRM : generated when a timer set with the alarm expiresSIGALRM : generated when a timer set with the alarm expires.

SIGCHLD : whenever a process terminates or stops, the signal is sent t th tto the parent.

SIGCONT : this signal sent to a stopped process when it is continued.

SIGFPE : signals an arithmetic exception, such as divide-by-0, floating point overflow, and so on

SIGILL : indicates that the process has executed an illegal hardware instruction.

SIGINT : generated by the terminal driver when we type the interrupt key and sent to all processes in the foreground process group.

SIGKILL : can’t be caught or ignored. a sure way to kill any process.

SIGPIPE : if we write to a pipeline but the reader has terminated SIGPIPE : if we write to a pipeline but the reader has terminated, SIGPIPE is generated.

SIGSEGV i di t th t th h d i lid SIGSEGV : indicates that the process has made an invalid memory reference. ( core dumped)

SIGTERM h i i i l b h kill(1) d b SIGTERM : the termination signal sent by the kill(1) command by default.

SIGSTP : Cntl-Z from the terminal driver which is sent to all processes in the foreground process group.

SIGUSR1 : user defined signal 1

SIGUSR2 : user defined signal 2

#include <sys/types.h>#include <signal.h>

int kill(pid_t pid, int signo);int raise(int signo);

Both return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

kill - sends a signal to a process or a group of processes

raise function allows a process to send a signal to itselfraise - function allows a process to send a signal to itself

pid means

• pid > 0 : signal to the process whose process ID is pidpid > 0 : signal to the process whose process ID is pid

• pid == 0 : signal to the processes whose process group ID equals that of sender

• pid < 0 : signal to the processes whose process group ID equals abs. of pid

• pid == -1 : unspecified (used as a broadcast signal in SVR4, 4.3 + BSD)

Permission to send signals

• The super-user can send a signal to any process.p g y p

• The real or effective user ID of the sender has to equal the real or effective user ID of the receiver.


alarm()alarm()APUE (Signals)

alarm() sets a timer to expire at a specified time in futurealarm() sets a timer to expire at a specified time in future.

• when timer expires, SIGALRM signal is generated,

• default action of the signal is to terminate the process.default action of the signal is to terminate the process.

• previously registered alarm clock is replaced by the new value.

if alarm(0), a previous unexpired alarm is cancelled.

• 만일 mysleep()을 사용하기 이전에 alarm을 set한 경우, 앞서의 alarm이 지워진다.

• Race condition이 발생할 수 있다(즉, pause()가 호출되기 전에 alarm이 발생할 수 있다.).Race condition이 발생할 수 있다(즉, pause()가 호출되기 전에 alarm이 발생할 수 있다.).
