What is SIGBABY?


Occasionally I see this signal implemented in frameworks, platforms and languages. But Google doesn't give anything about it.

I'd like to know its common uses, history and/or what it originally meant for.


Solution

  • It must be joke by Derick Rethans. He added SIGBABY to PHP as an alias of SIGSYS, or signal 31. As far as I can tell, it does not exist anywhere else.
