pthread_sigqueue(3) Library Functions Manual pthread_sigqueue(3)
NAME
pthread_sigqueue - queue a signal and data to a thread
LIBRARY
POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_sigqueue(pthread_t thread, int sig,
const union sigval value);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
pthread_sigqueue():
_GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_sigqueue() function performs a similar task to sigqueue(3),
but, rather than sending a signal to a process, it sends a signal to a
thread in the same process as the calling thread.
The thread argument is the ID of a thread in the same process as the
caller. The sig argument specifies the signal to be sent. The value
argument specifies data to accompany the signal; see sigqueue(3) for
details.
RETURN VALUE
On success, pthread_sigqueue() returns 0; on error, it returns an error
number.
ERRORS
EAGAIN The limit of signals which may be queued has been reached. (See
signal(7) for further information.)
EINVAL sig was invalid.
ENOSYS pthread_sigqueue() is not supported on this system.
ESRCH thread is not valid.

VERSIONS
The glibc implementation of pthread_sigqueue() gives an error (EINVAL)
on attempts to send either of the real-time signals used internally by
the NPTL threading implementation. See nptl(7) for details.
STANDARDS
GNU.
