Subject: [BUG] sigaction.2: s/sigval_t/union sigval/
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:14:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <181e9d30-baf7-cc5c-3016-71e83504ab04@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi Michael,

sigaction.2 uses the name 'sigval_t', which is:


// <x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/types/__sigval_t.h>
/* Type for data associated with a signal.  */
#ifdef __USE_POSIX199309
union sigval
{
   int sival_int;
   void *sival_ptr;
};

typedef union sigval __sigval_t;
#else
union __sigval
{
   int __sival_int;
   void *__sival_ptr;
};

typedef union __sigval __sigval_t;
#endif


and then:

x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/types/sigval_t.h:16:typedef __sigval_t sigval_t;


I think the man page should use the POSIX naming, shouldn't it?

___________

BTW:  I sent Draft v6 for system_data_types.7 2h+ ago, but I don't see 
it on lore.kernel.org.

Did you receive it?  Should I wait, or send it again?

Thanks,

Alex
