The situation is that though the kernel SIGRTMIN is still 32 on most
|
|
platforms, glibs defines SIGRTMIN and SIGRTMAX as functions calls.
|
|
Currently, SIGRTMIN is 34, but the man page may not mention it; the
|
|
value can change with a new build of glibc (even though the binary of
|
|
the caller has not changed).

[Thanks to Jakub Jelinek, for explaining this to me.]

Linux supports real-time signals as originally defined in the POSIX.1b
|

real-time extensions (and now included in POSIX.1-2001).

-Linux supports 32 real-time signals, numbered from 32

|
|
-to 63
|
|
-.RB ( SIGRTMAX ).

Unlike standard signals, real-time signals have no predefined meanings:

the entire set of real-time signals can be used for application-defined
