I've a small query regarding SIGCHLD. The generic behaviour of SIGCHLD is as
follows:

If disposition of SIGCHLD has been set with signal or sigset, or sigaction
and SA_NOCLDSTOP flag has been
set, it will only be sent to the calling process when its children exit.
If not set, SIGCHLD is sent also when the calling process' children are
stopped or continued due to job control.

Does Linux kernel have a different behaviour for SIGCHLD? In a concurrent
server program, I never used SA_NOCLDSTOP flag while a lot many
children processes running where each child process serves an individual
connection.

Any comment?
