list of available signals
DESCRIPTION
Linux supports the signals listed below. Several signal numbers
are architecture dependent. First the signals described in POSIX.1.
l c c l
____
lB c c l.
Signal Value Action Comment
SIGHUP \01 A Hangup detected on controlling terminal
or death of controlling process
SIGINT \02 A Interrupt from keyboard
SIGQUIT \03 C Quit from keyboard
SIGILL \04 C Illegal Instruction
SIGABRT \06 C Abort signal from abort(3)
SIGFPE \08 C Floating point exception
SIGKILL \09 AEF Kill signal
SIGSEGV 11 C Invalid memory reference
SIGPIPE 13 A Broken pipe: write to pipe with no readers
SIGALRM 14 A Timer signal from alarm(2)
SIGTERM 15 A Termination signal
SIGUSR1 30,10,16 A User-defined signal 1
SIGUSR2 31,12,17 A User-defined signal 2
SIGCHLD 20,17,18 B Child stopped or terminated
SIGCONT 19,18,25 Continue if stopped
SIGSTOP 17,19,23 DEF Stop process
SIGTSTP 18,20,24 D Stop typed at tty
SIGTTIN 21,21,26 D tty input for background process
SIGTTOU 22,22,27 D tty output for background process
Next the signals not in POSIX.1 but described in SUSv2.
l c c l
____
lB c c l.
Signal Value Action Comment
SIGBUS 10,7,10 C Bus error (bad memory access)
SIGPOLL A Pollable event (Sys V). Synonym of SIGIO
SIGPROF 27,27,29 A Profiling timer expired
SIGSYS 12,-,12 C Bad argument to routine (SVID)
SIGTRAP 5 C Trace/breakpoint trap
SIGURG 16,23,21 B Urgent condition on socket (4.2 BSD)
SIGVTALRM 26,26,28 A Virtual alarm clock (4.2 BSD)
SIGXCPU 24,24,30 C CPU time limit exceeded (4.2 BSD)
SIGXFSZ 25,25,31 C File size limit exceeded (4.2 BSD)
(For the cases SIGSYS, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ, and on some architectures
also SIGBUS, the Linux default action up to now (2.3.27) is A (terminate),
while SUSv2 prescribes C (terminate and dump core).)
Next various other signals.
l c c l
____
lB c c l.
Signal Value Action Comment
SIGIOT 6 C IOT trap. A synonym for SIGABRT
SIGEMT 7,-,7
SIGSTKFLT -,16,- A Stack fault on coprocessor
SIGIO 23,29,22 A I/O now possible (4.2 BSD)
SIGCLD -,-,18 A synonym for SIGCHLD
SIGPWR 29,30,19 A Power failure (System V)
SIGINFO 29,-,- A synonym for SIGPWR
SIGLOST -,-,- A File lock lost
SIGWINCH 28,28,20 B Window resize signal (4.3 BSD, Sun)
SIGUNUSED -,31,- A Unused signal (will be SIGSYS)
(Here - denotes that a signal is absent; there where three values
are given, the first one is usually valid for alpha and sparc,
the middle one for i386 and ppc and sh, the last one for mips.
Signal 29 is SIGINFO / SIGPWR on an alpha but SIGLOST on a sparc.)
The letters in the "Action" column have the following meanings:
Default action is to terminate the process.
Default action is to ignore the signal.
Default action is to terminate the process and dump core.
Default action is to stop the process.
Signal cannot be ignored.
CONFORMING TO
BUGS
SIGIO and SIGLOST have the same value.
The latter is commented out in the kernel source, but
the build process of some software still thinks that
signal 29 is SIGLOST.
