Sy" <09210679@mail4.dlsu.edu.ph> To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Questions on signals Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk What will be the behavior of a process if it receives a signal twice simultaneously (i.e. it receives two SIGALRM signals simultaneously)? I've read the man page, and it mentioned that in the case that it receives another SIGALRM when inside a SIGALRM signal handler routine, this second SIGALRM will be masked, and will be unmasked once the routine finishes its execution. I've tried to see if this is the case, but it doesn't seem to work. Am I getting this right? I would appreciate any help on this. Thank you very much!
