NAME

sigemptysetsigfillset, sigaddset, sigdelset, sigismember manipulate signal sets

SYNOPSIS

#include <signal.h>

int sigemptyset(sigset_t *set);

int sigfillset(sigset_t *set);

int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signo);

int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int signo);

int sigismember(const sigset_t *set, int signo);

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.
