SIGEMT

[Rajdeep Mondal]

I need to know under what scenarios is this signal sent to a process from the OS. What kind of programming errors can cause this signal to be sent to a process from the OS ?

See if this document helps.

Check out:

Once there go to the section "POSIX.1-1990 Conformance Document" and within that section go to "Process Primitives" and within that go to "3.3 Signals" and within that it will talk about the various signals.

It looks like you could also do a:

# man 5 signal

and there may be some help to you there.
