<b>NOTE</b>:
|
||||
NuttX does not support a FULL POSIX signalling system.
|
||||
Standard signals like SIGCHLD, SIGINTR, SIGKILL, etc. do not exist in NuttX and sending those signal may not have the result that you expect.
|
||||
Rather, NuttX supports only what are referred to as POSIX real-time signals.
|
||||
These signals may be used to communicate with running tasks, may be use to waiting waiting tasks, etc.
|
||||
But, as an example, <code>kill -9</code> (SIGKILL) will not terminate a task.
