SYNOPSIS

sigemptyset
(sigset_t
*set);
int
sigfillset
(sigset_t
*set);
int
sigaddset
(sigset_t

(const

DESCRIPTION
These functions manipulate signal sets stored in a
sigset_t. Either
sigemptyset
()
or sigfillset
() must be called for every object of
type sigset_t before any other use of the object.
sigemptyset
() and
sigfillset
() are provided as macros, but actual
functions are available if their names are undefined (with #undef
name).
The
sigemptyset
()
function initializes a signal set to be empty.
sigfillset
()
initializes a signal set to contain all signals.
sigaddset
()
adds the specified signal signo to the signal set.
sigdelset
()
deletes the specified signal signo from the signal
set.
sigismember
()
returns whether a specified signal signo is contained
in the signal set.
RETURN VALUES
The sigismember
() function returns 1 if
the signal is a member of the set and 0 otherwise. The other functions
return 0 upon success. A -1 return value indicates an error occurred and the
global variable errno is set to indicate the
reason.
ERRORS
These functions may fail if one of the following occurs:
- [
EINVAL
] - The specified signal signo is not a valid signal number.
