| //! Interface for the `signalfd` syscall. |
| //! |
| //! # Signal discarding |
| //! When a signal can't be delivered to a process (or thread), it will become a pending signal. |
| //! Failure to deliver could happen if the signal is blocked by every thread in the process or if |
| //! the signal handler is still handling a previous signal. |
| //! |
| //! If a signal is sent to a process (or thread) that already has a pending signal of the same |
| //! type, it will be discarded. This means that if signals of the same type are received faster than |
| //! they are processed, some of those signals will be dropped. Because of this limitation, |
| //! `signalfd` in itself cannot be used for reliable communication between processes or threads. |
| //! |
| //! Once the signal is unblocked, or the signal handler is finished, and a signal is still pending |
| //! (ie. not consumed from a signalfd) it will be delivered to the signal handler. |
| //! |
| //! Please note that signal discarding is not specific to `signalfd`, but also happens with regular |
| //! signal handlers. |
