#include <signal.h>int sigprocmask(int how, const sigset_t *set, sigset_t *oset);
The function or functions documented here may not be used safely in all application contexts with all APIs provided in the ChorusOS 5.0 product.
See API(5FEA) for details.
The sigpprocmask() function examines and/or changes the current signal mask (those signals that are blocked from delivery). Signals are blocked if they are members of the current signal mask set.
If set is not null, the action of sigprocmask() depends on the value of the parameter how. The signal mask is changed as a function of the specified set and the current mask. The function is specified by how using one of the following values from <signal.h>:
The new mask is the union of the current mask and the specified set.
The new mask is the intersection of the current mask and the complement of the specified set.
The current mask is replaced by the specified set.
If oset is not null, it is set to the previous value of the signal mask. When set is null, the value of how is insignificant and the mask remains unset, providing a way to examine the signal mask without modification.
The system quietly disallows SIGKILL
or SIGSTOP
to be blocked.
A 0 value indicates that the call succeeded. A -1 return value indicates an error occurred and errno is set to indicate the reason.
The sigprocmask() function will fail and the signal mask will be unchanged if the following occurs:
how has a value other than those listed here.
