SIGEVTHREAD
SIGEVTHREAD, more commonly referenced as SIGEV_THREAD in POSIX documentation, is a notification method used with POSIX real-time timers and asynchronous event delivery. When an event configured with this notification fires, the implementation creates a new thread to execute a user-defined function, rather than delivering a signal to a process or placing work on a queue.
Configuration and usage: The feature is used via the sigevent structure and timer_create (or similar real-time
Behavior and characteristics: Upon the event, a thread is spawned by the implementation to run the specified
Considerations: SIGEV_THREAD can simplify asynchronous notification by avoiding signal handling, but it can also lead to
