SIGSTKFLT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SIGSTKFLT (non-POSIX)

Description Stack fault on coprocessor (unused) Default action Abnormal termination of the process
SA_SIGINFO macros
None

On some Unix-like platforms, SIGSTKFLT is the signal sent to computer programs when the coprocessor experiences a stack fault. The symbolic constant for SIGSTKFLT is defined in the header file signal.h. Symbolic signal names are used because signal numbers can vary across platforms.

[edit] Etymology

SIG is a common prefix for signal names. STKFLT is an abbreviation for stack fault.

[edit] Usage

SIGSTKFLT does not appear to be used in any modern Unix-like systems.
