Do readiness to be delivered and pending mean the same for a signal?
APUE says
We say that a signal is delivered to a process when the action for a signal is taken.
During the time between the generation of a signal and its delivery, the signal is said to
be pending.
...
What happens if more than one signal is ready to be delivered to a process?
POSIX.1 does not specify the order in which the signals are delivered to the process.
The Rationale for POSIX.1 does suggest, however, that signals related to the current
state of the process be delivered before other signals. (SIGSEGV is one such signal.)
Does a signal being ready to be delivered mean the same as the signal being pending?
Thank you so much!
