- environment variables & command line arguments | |||
Key ideas for signals | |||
* processes can register signal handler functions for specific signals | |||
* When the kernel delivers a signal to a process, it runs the specified handler | |||
* The C library defines default handlers for all signals (except STOP and KILL) | |||
* When a process gets a signal, current execution is interrupted and the handler | |||
is invoked. When the handler terminates, the process continues where it was | |||
* If the process was blocked on a system call, the system call is interrupted | |||
and the handler is run. | |||
* The standard library can do different things with interrupted system calls | |||
