Perhaps I missed something, but wasn't the purpose to ensure the
flush happened before the program exited? In that case, wouldn't:
signal(SIGALRM, exit);
alarm(5);
tcdrain(STDOUT_FILENO); // Stdout, not stdin, isn't it?
alarm(0);
signal(SIGALRM, SIG_DFL);
do it? Restart bits don't matter if you're not coming back.
There is no recovery strategy for the tcdrain anyway. All signals
_are_ interrupting, you _will_ take the signal no matter where
you are in the flow of execution.
Or is all this just before closing the transmitting fd,
but _not_ exiting? In which case what happens after the
alarm signal hits _does_ matter?
