Detailed Description

Information about the process a signal is from or about.

Note that the pid and uid information is not necessarily to be trusted, rt_sigqueueinfo() allows user space to fill in arbitrary values here. Only privileged processes or processes running under the same UID as the target process may send signals. In some scenarios this may still be an issue.

For Source::KERNEL the values should be safe, though. See also isTrustedSource().
