(For code that need not be -portable, the -.Sy SIGEV_PORT -signal notification allows for explicit, event-oriented timer notification to be -sent to a specified port; see -.Xr signal.h 3HEAD -for details.) This facility therefore exists only to accommodate Linux-borne -applications and binaries; it is compatible with its Linux antecedent in both -binary interface and in semantics. -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr timerfd_create 3C , -.Xr timerfd_gettime 3C , -.Xr timerfd_settime 3C |
