PTHREAD_SIGQUEUE(3)        Linux Programmer's Manual       PTHREAD_SIGQUEUE(3)

NAME
       pthread_sigqueue - queue a signal and data to a thread
SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>
       int pthread_sigqueue(pthread_t *thread, int sig,
                            const union sigval value);
       Compile and link with -pthread.
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       pthread_sigqueue(): _GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
       The pthread_sigqueue() function performs a similar task to sigqueue(3),
       but, rather than sending a signal to a process, it sends a signal to  a
       thread in the same process as the calling thread.
       The  thread  argument  is the ID of a thread in the same process as the
       caller.  The sig argument specifies the signal to be sent.   The  value
       argument  specifies  data  to accompany the signal; see sigqueue(3) for
       details.
RETURN VALUE
       On success, pthread_sigqueue() returns 0; on error, it returns an error
       number.
ERRORS
       EAGAIN The limit of signals which may be queued has been reached.  (See
              signal(7) for further information.)
       EINVAL sig was invalid.
       ENOSYS pthread_sigqueue() is not supported on this system.
       ESRCH  thread is not valid.
VERSIONS
       The pthread_sigqueue() function first appeared in glibc 2.11.
CONFORMING TO
       This function is a GNU extension.
