I'm trying to figure out what the pid is of a process that sent the SIGCHLD signal, and I want to do this in a signal handler I created for SIGCHLD. How would I do this? I'm trying:

int pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, WNOHANG);

.. because I want to wait for any child process that is spawned.

Thanks, Hristo

If so, when does it become not valid; i.e., how do I ensure that I can call waitpid on the child pid and continue to get valid exit… >>> More
