Subject: [PATCH 3/5] unshare: replace signal blocking with signal handlers
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 13:31:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108183134.23980-4-kiranrangoon0@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108183134.23980-1-kiranrangoon0@gmail.com>
Replace sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK) with sigaction() to install signal
handlers for SIGTERM and SIGINT. This allows the parent to catch
signals and forward them to the child, instead of just blocking them.
The forward_signal() handler installed in the previous commit will
now be called when SIGTERM/SIGINT is received.
