[PATCH] decode_signal: allow all sane forms of SIGRTMIN+n

Show key headers only | View raw

I have a program I'd like to send SIGRTMIN+20, because that's the
spelling used in its documentation. Currently, bash only accepts the
symbolic names in the signal_names array, meaning I'd have to spell it
SIGRTMAX-10 on linux.

One workaround is of course to use

  kill -n $(($(kill -l SIGRTMIN) + 20)) pid

but it's more user-friendly to allow the form

  kill -s SIGRTMIN+20 pid

For symmetry, also accept SIGRTMAX-n expressions.
