17 | /* Some system calls may be interrupted and fail with errno = EINTR in the |
18 | following situations: | |
19 | - The process is stopped and restarted (signal SIGSTOP and SIGCONT, user | |

21 | - The process receives a signal for which a signal handler was installed | |
22 | with sigaction() with an sa_flags field that does not contain | |
23 | SA_RESTART. | |
24 | - The process receives a signal for which a signal handler was installed | |

26 | on some platforms: AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, OSF/1, Solaris. | |

28 | This module provides a wrapper around write() that handles EINTR. */ | |
