Hello everyone,

   I have two questions related to the signal mechanism in Linux.

   1) Does Linux have options to restart the slow system calls
      when they are interrupted? What are those options?
   2) What are the uses of SA_ONESHOT and SA_INTERRUPT? It
      seems to me that SA_NOMASK, if set, makes signals not
      be added to the current signal mask for blocking when
      signal handlers are executing. Am I right?

I will appreciate for any respond.
