Function Documentation

void rpmsqAction

(

int

signum

)

Default signal handler.

Parameters:

	signum	signal number
	info	(siginfo_t) signal info
	context	signal context

int rpmsqEnable	(	int	signum,
		rpmsqAction_t	handler
	)

Enable or disable a signal handler.

Parameters:

	signum	signal to enable (or disable if negative)
	handler	sa_sigaction handler (or NULL to use rpmsqHandler())

Returns:

no. of refs, -1 on error

int rpmsqExecve

(

const char **

argv

)

Execute a command, returning its status.

pid_t rpmsqFork

(

rpmsq

sq

)

Fork a child process.

Parameters:

sq

scriptlet queue element

Returns:

fork(2) pid

int rpmsqIsCaught

(

int

signum

)

Test if given signal has been caught (while signals blocked).

Similar to sigismember() but operates on internal signal queue.

Parameters:

signum

signal to test for

Returns:

1 if caught, 0 if not and -1 on error

int rpmsqJoin

(

void *

thread

)

Wait for thread to terminate.

Parameters:

thread

thread

Returns:

0 on success

void* rpmsqThread	(	void *(*)(void *arg)	start,
		void *	arg
	)

Call a function in a thread.

Parameters:

	start	function
	arg	function argument

Returns:

thread pointer (NULL on error)

int rpmsqThreadEqual

(

void *

thread

)

Compare thread with current thread.

Parameters:

thread

thread

Returns:

0 if not equal

pid_t rpmsqWait

(

rpmsq

sq

)

Wait for child process to be reaped.

Parameters:

sq

scriptlet queue element

Returns:

reaped child pid
