pthread_sigqueue(): _GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_sigqueue() function performs a similar task to sigqueue(3), but, rather than sending a signal to a process, it sends a signal to a thread in the same process as the calling thread.The thread argument is the ID of a thread in the same process as the caller. The sig argument specifies the signal to be sent. The value argument specifies data to accompany the signal; see sigqueue(3) for details.
RETURN VALUE
On success, pthread_sigqueue() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.ERRORS

- EINVAL
- sig was invalid.
- ENOSYS
