[Corelinux-develop] PID, sigaction documentation

[Hans D. <dul...@eg...>]

Frank,
   You told me not to use the vInfo formal parameter
of threadTerminated to get the PID of terminating thread.
Do you know another way of obtaining this PID?

I am also trying to use the third formal parameter (vPtr),
but could not find the right documentation of sigaction
that explain the use of this parameter in more detail.

Could you or Christophe give me some direction?

Hans,

There are two major arena for signal, the SysV standard type, and the 
extended signal (where sigaction is defined), re: 
http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?sigaction+2

Also, if you look at the header files in the linux distro of yours.

My problem (and why I used the offset into the buffer), was that the PID 
wasn't where the structure and union declarations said it would be, 
unless I wasn't packing correctly.
