They described for example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGRTMIN Moreover it's even mentioned in file itself: /* * XXX missing SIGRTMIN, SIGRTMAX. */ Absence of this variables makes porting of POSIX-compliant applications harder as well as lowers general POSIX-compliance of FreeBSD. Actually, signal.h looks quite scary with all that: /* * XXX missing SIG_HOLD. */ /* * XXX missing SIGEV_THREAD. */ >How-To-Repeat: less /usr/include/sys/signal.h >Fix: It'll be nice if that definitions were added to the signal.h ASAP. I don't see any strong reason not to have them. With regards, Timur Bakeyev. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
