maxsigq

Description

The maximum number of signals that can be queued. Normally, multiple instances of the same signal result in only one signal being delivered. With the use of the SA_SIGINFO flag, outstanding signals of the same type are queued instead of being dropped.

Value

Default 64

Range 32-32767

When to Change

Raise maxsigq when a process expects to receive a great number of signals and 64 queue places may be insufficient to avoid losing signals before they can be processed. Change maxsigq to a value appropriate to your needs.
