Manipulate signal sets

Usage

#include <signal.h>

int

sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signo);

int

sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int signo);

int

sigemptyset(sigset_t *set);

int

sigfillset(sigset_t *set);

int

sigismember(const sigset_t *set, int signo);

Library

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

Overview

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.

The sigemptyset() function initializes a signal set to be empty.

The sigfillset() function initializes a signal set to contain all signals.

The sigaddset() function adds the specified signal signo to the signal set.

The sigdelset() function deletes the specified signal signo from the signal set.

The sigismember() function returns whether a specified signal signo is contained in the signal set.

These functions are provided as macros in the include file <signal.h>. Actual functions are available if their names are undefined (with #undef name).

Return values

The sigismember() function returns 1 if the signal is a member of the set, 0 otherwise. The other functions return 0.

Errors

Currently, no errors are detected.
