The sigwaitinfo(2) system call is similar to sigwait: provided with a set of signals to watch out for, the function puts the caller to sleep until any one of those signals (in set) are pending. Here are their prototypes:
#include <signal.h>int sigwaitinfo(const sigset_t *set, siginfo_t *info);int sigtimedwait(const sigset_t *set, siginfo_t *info, const struct timespec *timeout);
In terms of a return, the sigwait API was able to provide us with the signal number of the signal that got delivered to the calling process. However, recall that there is a much more powerful feature of the sigaction(2) API—the ability to return valuable diagnostic and other information within the siginfo_t data structure. ...
