Hi, In a program I was debugging, waitid(2) returned a strange value in siginfo_t structure's si_code field. It was different that those stated in the man page for waitid(2) [ waitid(2) man page is the same as wait(2) ]. When I looked at the relevant file "/usr/include/bits/siginfo.h" there were two more values for si_code: CLD_DUMPED, /* Child terminated abnormally. */ CLD_TRAPPED, /* Traced child has trapped. */ I was getting CLD_DUMPED value along with core dumps so I state that as an example in the patch. I'm not sure about how a process can get CLD_TRAPPED but I include it for completeness' sake. The diff applies to today's git version. ============================== diff ====================== diff --git a/man2/wait.2 b/man2/wait.2 index c95ff2c..4028fae 100644 --- a/man2/wait.2 +++ b/man2/wait.2 @@ -310,6 +310,10 @@ Set to one of: .BR _exit (2)); .B CLD_KILLED (child killed by signal); +.B CLD_DUMPED +(child terminated abnormally, ie. core dump); +.B CLD_TRAPPED +(child has trapped while being traced); .B CLD_STOPPED (child stopped by signal); or .B CLD_CONTINUED ========================================================== -- Gokdeniz Karadag -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
