SPVM::Sys::Signal - Signal System Call

Usage

use Sys::Signal;
use Sys::Signal::Constant as SIGNAL;

Sys::Signal->raise(SIGNAL->SIGTERM);

Sys::Signal->kill($process_id, SIGNAL->SIGINT);

my $old_signal_handler = Sys::Signal->signal(SIGNAL->SIGTERM, Sys::Signal->SIG_IGN);

Description

Sys::Signal provides the methods to call the system call for the signal.

Class Methods

raise

static method raise : int ($sig : int)

The raise() function sends a signal to the calling process or thread.

See raise(3) - Linux man page in Linux.

Constant values specified in $sig is defined in Sys::Signal::Constant.

kill

static method kill : int ($pid : int, $sig : int)

The kill() system call can be used to send any signal to any process group or process.

See the kill(2) - Linux man page in Linux.

See Sys::Signal::Constant about the signal numbers specified by $sig

Constant values specified in $sig is defined in Sys::Signal::Constant.

alarm

static method alarm : int ($seconds : int)

alarm() arranges for a SIGALRM signal to be delivered to the calling process in seconds seconds.

See alarm(2) - Linux man page in Linux.

ualarm

static method ualarm : int ($usecs : int, $interval : int)

The ualarm() function causes the signal SIGALRM to be sent to the invoking process after (not less than) usecs microseconds. The delay may be lengthened slightly by any system activity or by the time spent processing the call or by the granularity of system timers.

See ualarm(3) - Linux man page in Linux.

signal

static method signal : Sys::Signal::Handler ($signum : int, $handler : Sys::Signal::Handler);

signal() sets the disposition of the signal signum to handler.

See signal(2) - Linux man page in Linux.

Constant values specified in $signum is defined in Sys::Signal::Constant.

Exceptions:

$handler must be defined. Otherwise an exception is thrown.

signal_io

static method signal_io : Sys::Signal::Handler ($signum : int, $fd : int);

signal() sets the disposition of the signal signum to "SIG_IO" handler with a file descriptor a signal is written.

Returns the old signal handler.

SIG_DFL

static method SIG_DFL : L<Sys::Signal::Handler|SPVM::Sys::Signal::Handler> ()

Creates a new signal handler that represents SIG_DFL.

SIG_IGN

static method SIG_IGN : L<Sys::Signal::Handler|SPVM::Sys::Signal::Handler> ();

Creates a new signal handler that represents SIG_IGN.

SIG_IO

static method SIG_IO : L<Sys::Signal::Handler|SPVM::Sys::Signal::Handler> ();

Creates a new signal handler that represents writing a signale to a file descriptor.
