bsd_signal(2)							 bsd_signal(2)

NAME
       bsd_signal - Interface to simplified signal facilities

SYNOPSIS
       #include <signal.h>

       void (*bsd_signal(
	       int sig,
	       void (*function) (int)))(int );

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc)

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented on this reference page conform to industry stan‐
       dards as follows:

       bsd_signal():  XSH4.2, XSH5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page	 for  more  information	 about
       industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS
       Defines the signal.  Specifies the address of a signal handler.

DESCRIPTION
       The bsd_signal() function provides a partially compatible interface for
       programs written to historical system interfaces.

       The handler function should be declared as follows (sig is  the	signal
       number).

       void handler (int sig);

       The behavior of bsd_signal() is undefined if the handler function takes
       more than one argument, or an argument of a different type.

       The bsd_signal() function is a direct replacement for the BSD  signal()
       function	 in  simple applications that are installing a single-argument
       signal handler. If the application is installing a BSD  signal  handler
       that expects more than one argument, the application has to be modified
       to use sigaction(). The bsd_signal() function differs from signal()  in
       that the SA_RESTART flag is set and the SA_RESETHAND will be clear when
       the libsys5 version of bsd_signal() is used. The state of  these	 flags
       is not specified for signal().

RETURN VALUES
       Upon  successful	 completion,  bsd_signal() returns the previous action
       for sig. Otherwise, SIG_ERR is returned and errno is  set  to  indicate
       the error.

ERRORS
       Refer to sigaction(2).
