Demonstrations of sigsnoop.


This traces signals generated system wide. For example:

# ./sigsnoop -n
TIME     PID     COMM             SIG       TPID    RESULT
19:56:14 3204808 a.out            SIGSEGV   3204808 0
19:56:14 3204808 a.out            SIGPIPE   3204808 0
19:56:14 3204808 a.out            SIGCHLD   3204722 0

The first line showed that a.out (a test program) deliver a SIGSEGV signal.
The result, 0, means success.

The second and third lines showed that a.out also deliver SIGPIPE/SIGCHLD
signals successively.

USAGE message:

# ./sigsnoop -h
Usage: sigsnoop [OPTION...]
Trace standard and real-time signals.

USAGE: sigsnoop [-h] [-x] [-k] [-n] [-p PID] [-s SIGNAL]

EXAMPLES:
    sigsnoop             # trace signals system-wide
    sigsnoop -k          # trace signals issued by kill syscall only
    sigsnoop -x          # trace failed signals only
    sigsnoop -p 1216     # only trace PID 1216
    sigsnoop -s 9        # only trace signal 9

  -k, --kill                 Trace signals issued by kill syscall only.
  -n, --name                 Output signal name instead of signal number.
  -p, --pid=PID              Process ID to trace
  -s, --signal=SIGNAL        Signal to trace.
  -x, --failed               Trace failed signals only.
  -?, --help                 Give this help list
      --usage                Give a short usage message
  -V, --version              Print program version

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional
for any corresponding short options.
