NAME

ExtUtils::Typemaps::Signal - A typemap for dealing with signal related types

VERSION

version 0.006

SYNOPSIS

use ExtUtils::Typemaps::Signal;
# First, read my own type maps:
my $private_map = ExtUtils::Typemaps->new(file => 'my.map');

# Then, get the Signal set and merge it into my maps
my $map = ExtUtils::Typemaps::Signal->new;
$private_map->merge(typemap => $map);

# Now, write the combined map to an output file
$private_map->write(file => 'typemap');

DESCRIPTION

ExtUtils::Typemaps::Signal is an ExtUtils::Typemaps subclass that provides several useful typemaps when dealing with signalling code. In particular it converts the following C types:

• signo_t

  Input only. This turns a signal name (e.g. TERM) or number (15) into a signal number. Do note you need to typedef int to this type yourself.

• sigset_t*

  Input only. This turns a POSIX::SigSet object into a sigset_t*. Alternatively, it will convert a signal name/number into a signal set.

• siginfo_t

  Output only. This turns a siginfo_t into a hash containing the various values

• struct timespec

  This turns a numeric duration into a struct timespec. This supports input and output.
