Source code for gevent.signal

"""
Cooperative implementation of special cases of :func:`signal.signal`.

This module is designed to work with libev's child watchers, as used
by default in :func:`gevent.os.fork` Note that each ``SIGCHLD``
handler will be run in a new greenlet when the signal is delivered
(just like :class:`gevent.hub.signal`)

The implementations in this module are only monkey patched if
:func:`gevent.os.waitpid` is being used (the default) and if
:const:`signal.SIGCHLD` is available; see :func:`gevent.os.fork` for
information on configuring this not to be the case for advanced uses.

.. versionadded:: 1.1b4
.. versionchanged:: 1.5a4
   Previously there was a backwards compatibility alias
   ``gevent.signal``, introduced in 1.1b4, that partly shadowed this
   module, confusing humans and static analysis tools alike. That alias
   has been removed. (See `gevent.signal_handler`.)

       A :const:`signal.SIGCHLD` handler installed with this function
       will only be triggered for children that are forked using
       :func:`gevent.os.fork` (:func:`gevent.os.fork_and_watch`);
       children forked before monkey patching, or otherwise by the raw
       :func:`os.fork`, will not trigger the handler installed by this
       function. (It's unlikely that a SIGCHLD handler installed with
       the builtin :func:`signal.signal` would be triggered either;
       libev typically overwrites such a handler at the C level. At
       the very least, it's full of race conditions.)

    .. note::

        Use of ``SIG_IGN`` and ``SIG_DFL`` may also have race conditions
        with libev child watchers and the :mod:`gevent.subprocess` module.

    .. versionchanged:: 1.2a1
         If ``SIG_IGN`` or ``SIG_DFL`` are used to ignore ``SIGCHLD``, a
         future use of ``gevent.subprocess`` and libev child watchers
         will once again work. However, on Python 2, use of ``os.popen``
         will fail.

    .. versionchanged:: 1.1rc2
         Allow using ``SIG_IGN`` and ``SIG_DFL`` to reset and ignore ``SIGCHLD``.
         However, this allows the possibility of a race condition if ``gevent.subprocess``
         had already been used.
