Subject: manpages: signal(7) refers to nonexistent SA_SIGACTION

Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2005 13:07:08 -0400

Package: manpages
Version: 2.01-1
Severity: normal

man 7 signal says, among other things, this about real-time signals:

"2. If the signal is sent using sigqueue(2), an accompanying value (either
an integer or a pointer) can be sent with the signal. If the receiving
process establishes a handler for this signal using the SA_SIGACTION flag
to sigaction(2) then it can obtain this data via the si_value field of the
siginfo_t structure passed as the second argument to the handler.
Furthermore, the si_pid and si_uid fields of this structure can be used to
obtain the PID and real user ID of the process sending the signal."

There's no such flag as SA_SIGACTION. They probably meant SA_SIGINFO.
