Hi Again,
Thanks for all your suggestions.I tried using signal() function.
It takes 2 args,a constant difining the type of signal and a function
pointer to signal handler.Can one pass more than one args to signal
handler?The signal function is defined as
void (*signal (int sig, void (*func)(int)))(int);
That is to say, signal is a function that returns a pointer to another
function. This second function takes a single int argument and returns
void. The second argument to signal is similarly a pointer to a
function returning void which takes an int argument.
Now signal() also returns a pointer to a function.But to which
function?Is it any user defined function or any C/system related
function?If so how can one use this return value?
some more help appriciated
Thanks,
-siliconwafer
