+.\" commit 84c751bd4aebbaae995fe32279d3dba48327bad4
+Retrieve
+.I siginfo_t
+structures without removing signals from a queue.
+.I addr
+points to a
+.I ptrace_peeksiginfo_args
+structure.
+.I siginfo_t
+structures are copied into the buffer starting at
+.I data.
+The return value contains a number of copied signals (zero indicates
+that a signal with this sequence number doesn't exist).
+A result
+.I siginfo
+contains a kernel part of
+.IR si_code
+(
+.BR __SI_CHLD,
+.BR __SI_FAULT,
+etc), which is not shown in other places.

+Currently here is only one flag
+.BR PTRACE_PEEKSIGINFO_SHARED
+for dumping signals from process-wide queue.
+If this flag is not set, signals are read from a per-thread queue.
