If sv is not NULL, it specifies the address of a structure containing a pointer to a handler routine and mask to be used when delivering the specified signal, and a flag indicating whether the signal is to be processed on an alternative stack. If sv->onstack has a value of 1, the system delivers the signal to the process on a signal stack specified with sigstack. The sigvec function establishes a handler that remains established until explicitly removed or until the image terminates. The sigvec structure is defined in the <signal.h> header file: struct sigvec { int (*handler)(); int mask; int onstack; }; See the "Error and Signal Handling" chapter of the HP C RTL Reference Manual for more information on signal handling.
