I'd just like to confirm that my interpretation of how kevent()
can be made to handle signals is correct.
From kqueue(2):
...
EVFILT_SIGNAL
Takes the signal number to monitor as the identifier and returns when
the given signal is delivered to the process. This coexists with the
signal() and sigaction() facilities, and has a lower precedence. The
filter will record all attempts to deliver a signal to a process, even
if the signal has been marked as SIG_IGN. [...]
So if I set all appropriate signals I want to monitor to SIG_IGN, I
can essentially have kevent() becoming the primary signal handling
mechanism in my program?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Trent.
