Erm... It's the first time I see SIGINFO signal. I think you meant SIGUSR1.

- farhaven 10y agoOn Unix, there's SIGINFO, which doesn't exist on Linux systems. That's why coreutils' dd uses SIGUSR1 instead.
- dozzie 10y agoOK, I take I didn't know of BSD-specific signal. But please don't claim it's on Unix, because it's not. Unless you can point me where in SUS (or any other specification) it is defined, as I couldn't find it here: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/signal.h.html http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sign...
- cat199 10y agoBSD is Unix. Don't believe the lies.
- yjftsjthsd-h 10y agoNo, I think GP means SIGINFO, which the BSD family uses. On GNU/Linux SIGUSR1 is a passable substitute.
