16.SH DESCRIPTION
17The system calls that handle signals, such as
18.BR sigaction (2)
19and
20.BR sigprocmask (2)
21use sets of signals to keep a process from being interrupted by those
22signals while executing a signal handler or a critical code segment. These
23signal sets are manipulated by the following functions:
24.TP 5
25.B "int sigaddset(sigset_t *\fIset\fP, int \fIsig\fP)"
26Add signal
27.I sig
28to the signal set referenced by
29.IR set .
30.TP
31.B "int sigdelset(sigset_t *\fIset\fP, int \fIsig\fP)"
32Remove signal
33.I sig
34from the signal set referenced by
35.IR set .
36.TP
37.B "int sigemptyset(sigset_t *\fIset\fP)"
38Initialize the signal set referenced by
39.I set
40to an empty set.
41.TP
42.B "int sigfillset(sigset_t *\fIset\fP)"
43Initialize the signal set referenced by
44.I set
45to an full set, i.e. all signals are in the set.
46.TP
47.B "int sigismember(const sigset_t *\fIset\fP, int \fIsig\fP)"
48Return
49.B 1
50if the signal
51.I sig
52is present in the set referenced by
53.IR set ,
54.B 0
55otherwise.
56.SH "SEE ALSO"
57.BR sigaction (2),
58.BR sigpending (2),
59.BR sigprocmask (2),
60.BR sigsuspend (2).
61.SH DIAGNOSTICS
62All functions except
63.B sigismember
64return
65.B 0
66on success.
67.B Sigismember
68returns
69.B 0
70or
71.B 1
72on success. They return
73.B \-1
74with error code
75.B EINVAL
76for an invalid signal number. (They do not use
77.B EFAULT
78for a bad
79.I set
80address, but will simply cause a segmentation violation.)
