Subject: [PATCH] signal.7: add missing async-signal-safe functions
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2015 17:07:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441638469-22062-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko-IBi9RG/b67k@public.gmane.org>

It seems that few async-signal-safe functions listed by POSIX.1-2008
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/V2_chap02.html#tag_15_04_03
are not mentioned in the man page. I am not exactly sure in which
version of the standard they have declared as signal safe. So they
were added to the section according to which standard they conform to:

POSIX.1-2001
- fchdir
- pthread_self
- pthread_sigmask

POSIX.1-2008
- pthread_kill
