DESCRIPTION

28       These functions allow the manipulation of POSIX signal sets.
29
30       sigemptyset() initializes the signal set given by set  to  empty,  with
31       all signals excluded from the set.
32
33       sigfillset() initializes set to full, including all signals.
34
35       sigaddset()  and  sigdelset() add and delete respectively signal signum
36       from set.
37
38       sigismember() tests whether signum is a member of set.
39
40       Objects of type sigset_t must  be  initialized  by  a  call  to  either
41       sigemptyset()  or  sigfillset()  before  being  passed to the functions
42       sigaddset(), sigdelset() and  sigismember()  or  the  additional  glibc
43       functions  described  below  (sigisemptyset(),  sigandset(),  and  sig‐
44       orset()).  The results are undefined if this is not done.
45

RETURN VALUE

47       sigemptyset(), sigfillset(), sigaddset(), and sigdelset() return  0  on
48       success and -1 on error.
49
50       sigismember()  returns  1  if signum is a member of set, 0 if signum is
51       not a member, and -1 on error.
52
53       On error, these functions set errno to indicate the cause of the error.
54

ERRORS

56       EINVAL signum is not a valid signal.

CONFORMING TO

NOTES

74       When creating a filled signal set, the glibc sigfillset() function does
75       not include the two real-time  signals  used  internally  by  the  NPTL
76       threading implementation.  See nptl(7) for details.
77
78   Glibc extensions
79       If  the  _GNU_SOURCE  feature  test  macro  is defined, then <signal.h>
80       exposes three other functions for manipulating signal sets:
81
82       int sigisemptyset(const sigset_t *set);
83       int sigorset(sigset_t *dest, const sigset_t *left,
84                     const sigset_t *right);
85       int sigandset(sigset_t *dest, const sigset_t *left,
86                     const sigset_t *right);
87
88       sigisemptyset() returns 1 if set contains no signals, and 0 otherwise.
89
90       sigorset() places the union  of  the  sets  left  and  right  in  dest.
91       sigandset() places the intersection of the sets left and right in dest.
92       Both functions return 0 on success, and -1 on failure.
93
94       These functions are nonstandard (a few other  systems  provide  similar
95       functions) and their use should be avoided in portable applications.
