Hi,
I am using setitimer( ITIMER_REAL ) to set the duration to get a SIGALRM signal. problem is, through some other syscall, this timer ( related to setitimer ) is getting reset. Does anyone know the systemcall other than setitimer which uses this timer( related to setitimer );
please reply me,
thanks ®ards
Eshwar.
NOTES
alarm and setitimer share the same timer; calls to one
will interfere with use of the other.
sleep() may be implemented using SIGALRM; mixing calls to
alarm() and sleep() is a bad idea.
Too bad it doesn't mention the same thing in the setitimer man page.
