- In POSIX.4a 8.3.3.2 it says:
-
- "Signals which result as a result of an alarm() call are directed at
- the thread that requested the alarm."
-
- but in 8.4.4.2 it says:
-
- "The SIGALRM signal is asynchronously delivered to the process as a
- result of calling alarm()."
-
- Which is it, the thread or the process?
-
- I guess thread, or there wouldn't be much point in having section 8.4.4.2
- rather than just refer to POSIX.1.
