val min : t -> t -> t

val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~cmp:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool
val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

val of_string : string -> t
val equal : t -> t -> bool
val of_system_int : int -> t

of_system_int and to_system_int return and take respectively a signal number corresponding to those in the system's /usr/include/bits/signum.h (or equivalent). It is not guaranteed that these numbers are portable across any given pair of systems -- although some are defined as standard by POSIX.

val to_system_int : t -> int
val of_caml_int : int -> t

of_caml_int constructs a Signal.t given an O'Caml internal signal number. This is only for the use of the Core_unix module.

val to_caml_int : t -> int
val to_string : t -> string

to_string t returns a human-readable name: "sigabrt", "sigalrm", ...

type sys_behavior = [
  1. | `Continue
    (*

    Continue the process if it is currently stopped

    *)
  2. | `Dump_core
    (*

    Terminate the process and dump core

    *)
  3. | `Ignore
    (*

    Ignore the signal

    *)
  4. | `Stop
    (*

    Stop the process

    *)
  5. | `Terminate
    (*

    Terminate the process

]

The default behaviour of the system if these signals trickle to the top level of a program. See include/linux/kernel.h in the Linux kernel source tree (not the file /usr/include/linux/kernel.h).

val sys_behavior_of_sexp : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> sys_behavior
val __sys_behavior_of_sexp__ : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> sys_behavior
val sexp_of_sys_behavior : sys_behavior -> Sexplib.Sexp.t
val default_sys_behavior : t -> sys_behavior

default_sys_behavior t Query the default system behavior for a signal.

val handle_default : t -> unit

handle_default t is set t `Default.

val ignore : t -> unit

ignore t is set t `Ignore.

type pid_spec = [
  1. | `Pid of Core_kernel.Pid.t
  2. | `My_group
  3. | `Group of Core_kernel.Pid.t
]
include sig ... end
val sexp_of_pid_spec : pid_spec -> Sexplib.Sexp.t
val send : t -> pid_spec -> [ `Ok | `No_such_process ]

send signal pid_spec sends signal to the processes specified by pid_spec.

send_i is like send, except that it silently returns if the specified processes don't exist.

send_exn is like send, except that it raises if the specified processes don't exist.

All of send, send_i, and send_exn raise if you don't have permission to send the signal to the specified processes or if signal is unknown.

val send_i : t -> pid_spec -> unit
val send_exn : t -> pid_spec -> unit
val can_send_to : Core_kernel.Pid.t -> bool

can_send_to pid returns true if pid is running and the current process has permission to send it signals.

type sigprocmask_command = [
  1. | `Set
  2. | `Block
  3. | `Unblock
]
val sigprocmask : sigprocmask_command -> t list -> t list

sigprocmask cmd sigs changes the set of blocked signals. * If cmd is `Set, blocked signals are set to those in the list sigs. * If cmd is `Block, the signals in sigs are added to the set of blocked * signals. * If cmd is `Unblock, the signals in sigs are removed from the set of * blocked signals. * sigprocmask returns the set of previously blocked signals.

val sigpending : unit -> t list

sigpending () returns the set of blocked signals that are currently * pending.

val sigsuspend : t list -> unit

sigsuspend sigs atomically sets the blocked signals to sigs and waits for * a non-ignored, non-blocked signal to be delivered. On return, the blocked * signals are reset to their initial value.

Specific signals, along with their default behavior and meaning.
