New Revision: 303325
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/303325

Log:
  MFC 302899: Add documentation for the sigevent structure.
  
  - Add a sigevent(3) manpage to give a general overview of the sigevent
    structure and the available notification mechanisms.
  - Document that AIO requests contain a nested sigevent structure that can
    be used to request completion notification.
  - Expand the sigevent details in other manuals to note details such as
    the extra values stored in a queued signal's information or in a posted
    kevent.

Added:
  stable/10/share/man/man3/sigevent.3

+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In signal.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Some operations permit threads to request asychronous notification of events
+via a
+.Vt struct sigevent
+structure.
+This structure contains several fields that describe the requested notification:
+.Bl -column ".Vt void (*)(union sigval)" ".Va sigev_notify_kevent_flags"
+.It Sy Type Ta Sy Member Ta Sy Description
+.It Vt int Ta sigev_notify Ta notification method
+.It Vt int Ta sigev_signo Ta signal number

+.It Vt void (*)(union sigval) Ta sigev_notify_function Ta
+callback function pointer
+.It Vt pthread_attr_t * Ta sigev_notify_attributes Ta
+callback thread attributes
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Va sigev_notify
+field specifies the notification method used when the event triggers:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Dv SIGEV_THREAD_ID"
+.It Dv SIGEV_NONE
+No notification is sent.
+.It Dv SIGEV_SIGNAL
+The signal
+.Va sigev_signo
+is queued as a real-time signal to the calling process.
+The value stored in
+.Va sigev_value
+will be present in the
+.Va si_value
+of the
+.Vt siginfo_t
+structure of the queued signal.
+.It Dv SIGEV_THREAD
+The notification function in
+.Va sigev_notify_function
+is called in a separate thread context.
+The thread is created with the attributes specified in
+.Va *sigev_notify_attributes .
+The value stored in
+.Va sigev_value
+is passed as the sole argument to
+.Va sigev_notify_function .
+If
+.Va sigev_notify_attributes
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+the thread is created with default attributes.
+.It Dv SIGEV_KEVENT
+A new kevent is posted to the kqueue
+.Va sigev_notify_kqueue .
+The
+.Va udata
+member of the kevent structure contains the value stored in
+.Va sigev_value .
+The meaning of other fields in the kevent are specific to the type of triggered
+event.
+.It Dv SIGEV_THREAD_ID
+The signal
+.Va sigev_signo
+is queued to the thread whose LWP ID is
+.Va sigev_notify_thread_id .
+The value stored in
+.Va sigev_value
+will be present in the
+.Va si_value
+of the
+.Vt siginfo_t
+structure of the queued signal.
