Re: [Corelinux-develop] PID, sigaction documentation

[Frank V. C. <fr...@co...>]

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.
