[nptl] Re: handling asynchronous event

[Sebastien Decugis <sebastien.decugis@ext.bull.net>]

Sure, you can register a signal handler.

The tricky part in POSIX is that the signal can be generated either for
a thread or for a process. The signal mask is thread-based. The handlers
are registered for the process, IIRC.

See pthread_sigmask, pthread_kill for more information.

Hope this is clear...

Seb.
