sigaction(2) System Calls Manual sigaction(2)
sigaction, rt_sigaction - examine and change a signal action
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <signal.h>
int sigaction(int signum,
const struct sigaction *_Nullable restrict act,
struct sigaction *_Nullable restrict oldact);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
sigaction():
_POSIX_C_SOURCE
siginfo_t:
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L
The sigaction() system call is used to change the action taken by
a process on receipt of a specific signal. (See signal(7) for an
overview of signals.)
signum specifies the signal and can be any valid signal except
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP.
If act is non-NULL, the new action for signal signum is installed
from act. If oldact is non-NULL, the previous action is saved in
oldact.
The sigaction structure is defined as something like:
struct sigaction {
void (*sa_handler)(int);
void (*sa_sigaction)(int, siginfo_t *, void *);
sigset_t sa_mask;
int sa_flags;
void (*sa_restorer)(void);
};
On some architectures a union is involved: do not assign to both
sa_handler and sa_sigaction.
The sa_restorer field is not intended for application use. (POSIX
does not specify a sa_restorer field.) Some further details of
the purpose of this field can be found in sigreturn(2).
sa_handler specifies the action to be associated with signum and
can be one of the following:
• SIG_DFL for the default action.
• SIG_IGN to ignore this signal.
• A pointer to a signal handling function. This function
receives the signal number as its only argument.
If SA_SIGINFO is specified in sa_flags, then sa_sigaction (instead
of sa_handler) specifies the signal-handling function for signum.
This function receives three arguments, as described below.
sa_mask specifies a mask of signals which should be blocked (i.e.,
added to the signal mask of the thread in which the signal handler
is invoked) during execution of the signal handler. In addition,
the signal which triggered the handler will be blocked, unless the
SA_NODEFER flag is used.
sa_flags specifies a set of flags which modify the behavior of the
signal. It is formed by the bitwise OR of zero or more of the
following:
SA_NOCLDSTOP
If signum is SIGCHLD, do not receive notification when
child processes stop (i.e., when they receive one of
SIGSTOP, SIGTSTP, SIGTTIN, or SIGTTOU) or resume (i.e.,
they receive SIGCONT) (see wait(2)). This flag is
meaningful only when establishing a handler for SIGCHLD.
SA_NOCLDWAIT (since Linux 2.6)
If signum is SIGCHLD, do not transform children into
zombies when they terminate. See also waitpid(2). This
flag is meaningful only when establishing a handler for
SIGCHLD, or when setting that signal's disposition to
SIG_DFL.
If the SA_NOCLDWAIT flag is set when establishing a handler
for SIGCHLD, POSIX.1 leaves it unspecified whether a
SIGCHLD signal is generated when a child process
terminates. On Linux, a SIGCHLD signal is generated in
this case; on some other implementations, it is not.
SA_NODEFER
Do not add the signal to the thread's signal mask while the
handler is executing, unless the signal is specified in
act.sa_mask. Consequently, a further instance of the
signal may be delivered to the thread while it is executing
the handler. This flag is meaningful only when
establishing a signal handler.
SA_NOMASK is an obsolete, nonstandard synonym for this
flag.
SA_ONSTACK
Call the signal handler on an alternate signal stack
provided by sigaltstack(2). If an alternate stack is not
available, the default stack will be used. This flag is
meaningful only when establishing a signal handler.
SA_RESETHAND
Restore the signal action to the default upon entry to the
signal handler. This flag is meaningful only when
establishing a signal handler.
SA_ONESHOT is an obsolete, nonstandard synonym for this
flag.
SA_RESTART
Provide behavior compatible with BSD signal semantics by
making certain system calls restartable across signals.
This flag is meaningful only when establishing a signal
handler. See signal(7) for a discussion of system call
restarting.
SA_RESTORER
Not intended for application use. This flag is used by C
libraries to indicate that the sa_restorer field contains
the address of a "signal trampoline". See sigreturn(2) for
more details.
SA_SIGINFO (since Linux 2.2)
The signal handler takes three arguments, not one. In this
case, sa_sigaction should be set instead of sa_handler.
This flag is meaningful only when establishing a signal
handler.
SA_UNSUPPORTED (since Linux 5.11)
Used to dynamically probe for flag bit support.
If an attempt to register a handler succeeds with this flag
set in act->sa_flags alongside other flags that are
potentially unsupported by the kernel, and an immediately
subsequent sigaction() call specifying the same signal
number and with a non-NULL oldact argument yields
SA_UNSUPPORTED clear in oldact->sa_flags, then
oldact->sa_flags may be used as a bitmask describing which
of the potentially unsupported flags are, in fact,
supported. See the section "Dynamically probing for flag
bit support" below for more details.
SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS (since Linux 5.11)
Normally, when delivering a signal, an architecture-
specific set of tag bits are cleared from the si_addr field
of siginfo_t. If this flag is set, an architecture-
specific subset of the tag bits will be preserved in
si_addr.
Programs that need to be compatible with Linux versions
older than 5.11 must use SA_UNSUPPORTED to probe for
support.
The siginfo_t argument to a SA_SIGINFO handler
When the SA_SIGINFO flag is specified in act.sa_flags, the signal
handler address is passed via the act.sa_sigaction field. This
handler takes three arguments, as follows:
void
handler(int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *ucontext)
{
...
}
These three arguments are as follows
sig The number of the signal that caused invocation of the
handler.
info A pointer to a siginfo_t, which is a structure containing
further information about the signal, as described below.
ucontext
This is a pointer to a ucontext_t structure, cast to
void *. The structure pointed to by this field contains
signal context information that was saved on the user-space
stack by the kernel; for details, see sigreturn(2).
Further information about the ucontext_t structure can be
found in getcontext(3) and signal(7). Commonly, the
handler function doesn't make any use of the third
argument.
The siginfo_t data type is a structure with the following fields:
siginfo_t {
int si_signo; /* Signal number */
int si_errno; /* An errno value */
int si_code; /* Signal code */
int si_trapno; /* Trap number that caused
hardware-generated signal
(unused on most architectures) */
pid_t si_pid; /* Sending process ID */
uid_t si_uid; /* Real user ID of sending process */
int si_status; /* Exit value or signal */
clock_t si_utime; /* User time consumed */
clock_t si_stime; /* System time consumed */
union sigval si_value; /* Signal value */
int si_int; /* POSIX.1b signal */
void *si_ptr; /* POSIX.1b signal */
int si_overrun; /* Timer overrun count;
POSIX.1b timers */
int si_timerid; /* Timer ID; POSIX.1b timers */
void *si_addr; /* Memory location which caused fault */
long si_band; /* Band event (was int in
glibc 2.3.2 and earlier) */
int si_fd; /* File descriptor */
short si_addr_lsb; /* Least significant bit of address
(since Linux 2.6.32) */
void *si_lower; /* Lower bound when address violation
occurred (since Linux 3.19) */
void *si_upper; /* Upper bound when address violation
occurred (since Linux 3.19) */
int si_pkey; /* Protection key on PTE that caused
fault (since Linux 4.6) */
void *si_call_addr; /* Address of system call instruction
(since Linux 3.5) */
int si_syscall; /* Number of attempted system call
(since Linux 3.5) */
unsigned int si_arch; /* Architecture of attempted system call
(since Linux 3.5) */
}
si_signo, si_errno and si_code are defined for all signals.
(si_errno is generally unused on Linux.) The rest of the struct
may be a union, so that one should read only the fields that are
meaningful for the given signal:
• Signals sent with kill(2) and sigqueue(3) fill in si_pid and
si_uid. In addition, signals sent with sigqueue(3) fill in
si_int and si_ptr with the values specified by the sender of
the signal; see sigqueue(3) for more details.
• Signals sent by POSIX.1b timers (since Linux 2.6) fill in
si_overrun and si_timerid. The si_timerid field is an internal
ID used by the kernel to identify the timer; it is not the same
as the timer ID returned by timer_create(2). The si_overrun
field is the timer overrun count; this is the same information
as is obtained by a call to timer_getoverrun(2). These fields
are nonstandard Linux extensions.
• Signals sent for message queue notification (see the
description of SIGEV_SIGNAL in mq_notify(3)) fill in
si_int/si_ptr, with the sigev_value supplied to mq_notify(3);
si_pid, with the process ID of the message sender; and si_uid,
with the real user ID of the message sender.
• SIGCHLD fills in si_pid, si_uid, si_status, si_utime, and
si_stime, providing information about the child. The si_pid
field is the process ID of the child; si_uid is the child's
real user ID. The si_status field contains the exit status of
the child (if si_code is CLD_EXITED), or the signal number that
caused the process to change state. The si_utime and si_stime
contain the user and system CPU time used by the child process;
these fields do not include the times used by waited-for
children (unlike getrusage(2) and times(2)). Up to Linux 2.6,
and since Linux 2.6.27, these fields report CPU time in units
of sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK). In Linux 2.6 kernels before Linux
2.6.27, a bug meant that these fields reported time in units of
the (configurable) system jiffy (see time(7)).
• SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, and SIGTRAP fill in si_addr
with the address of the fault. On some architectures, these
signals also fill in the si_trapno field.
Some suberrors of SIGBUS, in particular BUS_MCEERR_AO and
BUS_MCEERR_AR, also fill in si_addr_lsb. This field indicates
the least significant bit of the reported address and therefore
the extent of the corruption. For example, if a full page was
corrupted, si_addr_lsb contains log2(sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)).
When SIGTRAP is delivered in response to a ptrace(2) event
(PTRACE_EVENT_foo), si_addr is not populated, but si_pid and
si_uid are populated with the respective process ID and user ID
responsible for delivering the trap. In the case of
seccomp(2), the tracee will be shown as delivering the event.
BUS_MCEERR_* and si_addr_lsb are Linux-specific extensions.
The SEGV_BNDERR suberror of SIGSEGV populates si_lower and
si_upper.
The SEGV_PKUERR suberror of SIGSEGV populates si_pkey.
• SIGIO/SIGPOLL (the two names are synonyms on Linux) fills in
si_band and si_fd. The si_band event is a bit mask containing
the same values as are filled in the revents field by poll(2).
The si_fd field indicates the file descriptor for which the I/O
event occurred; for further details, see the description of
F_SETSIG in fcntl(2).
• SIGSYS, generated (since Linux 3.5) when a seccomp filter
returns SECCOMP_RET_TRAP, fills in si_call_addr, si_syscall,
si_arch, si_errno, and other fields as described in seccomp(2).
The si_code field
The si_code field inside the siginfo_t argument that is passed to
a SA_SIGINFO signal handler is a value (not a bit mask) indicating
why this signal was sent. For a ptrace(2) event, si_code will
contain SIGTRAP and have the ptrace event in the high byte:
(SIGTRAP | PTRACE_EVENT_foo << 8).
For a non-ptrace(2) event, the values that can appear in si_code
are described in the remainder of this section. Since glibc 2.20,
the definitions of most of these symbols are obtained from
<signal.h> by defining feature test macros (before including any
header file) as follows:
• _XOPEN_SOURCE with the value 500 or greater;
• _XOPEN_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED; or
• _POSIX_C_SOURCE with the value 200809L or greater.
For the TRAP_* constants, the symbol definitions are provided only
in the first two cases. Before glibc 2.20, no feature test macros
were required to obtain these symbols.

Dynamically probing for flag bit support
The sigaction() call on Linux accepts unknown bits set in
act->sa_flags without error. The behavior of the kernel starting
with Linux 5.11 is that a second sigaction() will clear unknown
bits from oldact->sa_flags. However, historically, a second
sigaction() call would typically leave those bits set in
oldact->sa_flags.
This means that support for new flags cannot be detected simply by
testing for a flag in sa_flags, and a program must test that
SA_UNSUPPORTED has been cleared before relying on the contents of
sa_flags.
Since the behavior of the signal handler cannot be guaranteed
unless the check passes, it is wise to either block the affected
signal while registering the handler and performing the check in
this case, or where this is not possible, for example if the
signal is synchronous, to issue the second sigaction() in the
signal handler itself.
In kernels that do not support a specific flag, the kernel's
behavior is as if the flag was not set, even if the flag was set
in act->sa_flags.
The flags SA_NOCLDSTOP, SA_NOCLDWAIT, SA_SIGINFO, SA_ONSTACK,
SA_RESTART, SA_NODEFER, SA_RESETHAND, and, if defined by the
architecture, SA_RESTORER may not be reliably probed for using
this mechanism, because they were introduced before Linux 5.11.
However, in general, programs may assume that these flags are
supported, since they have all been supported since Linux 2.6,
which was released in the year 2003.
See EXAMPLES below for a demonstration of the use of
SA_UNSUPPORTED.
sigaction() returns 0 on success; on error, -1 is returned, and
errno is set to indicate the error.
EFAULT act or oldact points to memory which is not a valid part of
the process address space.
EINVAL An invalid signal was specified. This will also be
generated if an attempt is made to change the action for
SIGKILL or SIGSTOP, which cannot be caught or ignored.
C library/kernel differences
The glibc wrapper function for sigaction() gives an error (EINVAL)
on attempts to change the disposition of the two real-time signals
used internally by the NPTL threading implementation. See nptl(7)
for details.
On architectures where the signal trampoline resides in the C
library, the glibc wrapper function for sigaction() places the
address of the trampoline code in the act.sa_restorer field and
sets the SA_RESTORER flag in the act.sa_flags field. See
sigreturn(2).
The original Linux system call was named sigaction(). However,
with the addition of real-time signals in Linux 2.2, the fixed-
size, 32-bit sigset_t type supported by that system call was no
longer fit for purpose. Consequently, a new system call,
rt_sigaction(), was added to support an enlarged sigset_t type.
The new system call takes a fourth argument, size_t sigsetsize,
which specifies the size in bytes of the signal sets in
act.sa_mask and oldact.sa_mask. This argument is currently
required to have the value sizeof(sigset_t) (or the error EINVAL
results). The glibc sigaction() wrapper function hides these
details from us, transparently calling rt_sigaction() when the
kernel provides it.
POSIX.1-2008.
POSIX.1-2001, SVr4.
POSIX.1-1990 disallowed setting the action for SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN.
POSIX.1-2001 and later allow this possibility, so that ignoring
SIGCHLD can be used to prevent the creation of zombies (see
wait(2)). Nevertheless, the historical BSD and System V behaviors
for ignoring SIGCHLD differ, so that the only completely portable
method of ensuring that terminated children do not become zombies
is to catch the SIGCHLD signal and perform a wait(2) or similar.
POSIX.1-1990 specified only SA_NOCLDSTOP. POSIX.1-2001 added
SA_NOCLDWAIT, SA_NODEFER, SA_ONSTACK, SA_RESETHAND, SA_RESTART,
and SA_SIGINFO as XSI extensions. POSIX.1-2008 moved SA_NODEFER,
SA_RESETHAND, SA_RESTART, and SA_SIGINFO to the base
specifications. Use of these latter values in sa_flags may be
less portable in applications intended for older UNIX
implementations.
The SA_RESETHAND flag is compatible with the SVr4 flag of the same
name.
The SA_NODEFER flag is compatible with the SVr4 flag of the same
name under kernels 1.3.9 and later. On older kernels the Linux
implementation allowed the receipt of any signal, not just the one
we are installing (effectively overriding any sa_mask settings).
A child created via fork(2) inherits a copy of its parent's signal
dispositions. During an execve(2), the dispositions of handled
signals are reset to the default; the dispositions of ignored
signals are left unchanged.
According to POSIX, the behavior of a process is undefined after
it ignores a SIGFPE, SIGILL, or SIGSEGV signal that was not
generated by kill(2) or raise(3). Integer division by zero has
undefined result. On some architectures it will generate a SIGFPE
signal. (Also dividing the most negative integer by -1 may
generate SIGFPE.) Ignoring this signal might lead to an endless
loop.
sigaction() can be called with a NULL second argument to query the
current signal handler. It can also be used to check whether a
given signal is valid for the current machine by calling it with
NULL second and third arguments.
It is not possible to block SIGKILL or SIGSTOP (by specifying them
in sa_mask). Attempts to do so are silently ignored.
See sigsetops(3) for details on manipulating signal sets.
See signal-safety(7) for a list of the async-signal-safe functions
that can be safely called inside from inside a signal handler.
POSIX only guarantees SI_TIMER for signals created by
timer_create(2). Implementations are free to also provide it for
other types of timers. The Linux behaviour matches NetBSD.
Undocumented
Before the introduction of SA_SIGINFO, it was also possible to get
some additional information about the signal. This was done by
providing an sa_handler signal handler with a second argument of
type struct sigcontext, which is the same structure as the one
that is passed in the uc_mcontext field of the ucontext structure
that is passed (via a pointer) in the third argument of the
sa_sigaction handler. See the relevant Linux kernel sources for
details. This use is obsolete now.
When delivering a signal resulting from a hardware exception with
a SA_SIGINFO handler, the kernel does not always provide
meaningful values for all of the fields of the siginfo_t that are
relevant for that signal. For example, when the x86 int
instruction is called with a forbidden argument (any number other
than 3 or 128), a SIGSEGV signal is delivered, but the siginfo_t
passed to the signal handler has all its fields besides si_signo
and si_code set to zero, even if other fields should be set (as an
example, si_addr should be non-zero for all SIGSEGV signals).
Up to and including Linux 2.6.13, specifying SA_NODEFER in
sa_flags prevents not only the delivered signal from being masked
during execution of the handler, but also the signals specified in
sa_mask. This bug was fixed in Linux 2.6.14.
See mprotect(2).
