SYNOPSIS

11       #include <signal.h>
12
13       int sigemptyset(sigset_t *set);
14
15       int sigfillset(sigset_t *set);
16
17       int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signum);
18
19       int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int signum);
20
21       int sigismember(const sigset_t *set, int signum);

DESCRIPTION

25       The sigsetops(3) functions allow the manipulation of POSIX signal sets.
26
27       sigemptyset() initializes the signal set given by set  to  empty,  with
28       all signals excluded from the set.
29
30       sigfillset() initializes set to full, including all signals.
31
32       sigaddset()  and  sigdelset() add and delete respectively signal signum
33       from set.
34
35       sigismember() tests whether signum is a member of set.
36

RETURN VALUE

38       sigemptyset(), sigfillset(), sigaddset(), and sigdelset() return  0  on
39       success and -1 on error.
40
41       sigismember()  returns  1  if signum is a member of set, 0 if signum is
42       not a member, and -1 on error.
43

ERRORS

45       EINVAL sig is not a valid signal.
46

CONFORMING TO

48       POSIX.1-2001.

GLIBC NOTES

51       If the _GNU_SOURCE feature  test  macro  is  defined,  then  <signal.h>
52       exposes three other functions for manipulating signal sets.
53
54       int sigisemptyset(sigset_t *set);
55              returns 1 if set contains no signals, and 0 otherwise.
56
57       int sigorset(sigset_t *dest, sigset_t *left, sigset_t *right);
58              places the union of the sets left and right in dest.
59
60       int sigandset(sigset_t *dest, sigset_t *left, sigset_t *right);
61              places the intersection of the sets left and right in dest.
62
63       sigorset() and sigandset() return 0 on success, and -1 on failure.
64
65       These  functions  are non-standard (a few other systems provide similar
66       functions) and their use should be avoided in portable applications.
