Hiya, I posted this to the net just before christmas and got no replies,
so here I go again.
I am developing a checkpoint utility on an encore multimax machine and came
across a problem which manifested itself during a profile run.
Sigvec is used to send information about a sigentry procedure to the kernel.
It uses signal 1024 (0x400) to send this information although it does return
-1.
My questions are :-
Is this documented somewhere?
If so, where?
Are there any more of these lying about for any more system calls?
Thanks
Kev
