Author: jhb Date: Mon Jul 25 23:38:14 2016 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.
