[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Signals 0-11, what are they?

mcr@julie.UUCP (Michael Richardson) (04/10/90)

  I know that (from libraries/dos*.h)
     signal name        number           mask
    SIGBREAKF_CTRL_F      15           00008000
    SIGBREAKF_CTRL_E      14           00004000
    SIGBREAKF_CTRL_D      13           00002000
    SIGBREAKF_CTRL_C      12           00001000
  and I've gathered from experience debugging `hung' tasks with
XOper (Time to look at the XOper source, I have no idea how it wants
me to identity a `Process', for a Signal operation...) that:

    SignalSemaphore        4           00000010
   Dos Process.pr_MsgPort  8           00000100

  but I've yet to come across a reference to other 10 signals. I came
across a process stuck with a SigWait of 00000080, which I've never
seen before...  (It could very well be errant code that lead me into
Wait()ing for signal 7, but I'd like to know for sure.)

  I think email replies would probably be best for this, I'll certainly
summerise. (Yes, I have read the RKMs, I know 1.2 Exec nearly as well
as I know HHGG. I read the three HHGG about 13 times while recovering
from a downhill racing accident...)

  Thanks.
