+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR pthread_sigqueue ()
+function performs a similar task to
+.BR sigqueue (3),
+but, rather than sending a signal to a process,
+it sends a signal to a thread in the same process as the
+calling thread.
+.P
+The
+.I thread
+argument is the ID of a thread in the same process as the caller.
+The
+.I sig
+argument specifies the signal to be sent.
+The
+.I value
+argument specifies data to accompany the signal; see
+.BR sigqueue (3)
+for details.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR pthread_sigqueue ()
+returns 0;
+on error, it returns an error number.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EAGAIN
+The limit of signals which may be queued has been reached.
+(See
+.BR signal (7)
