DESCRIPTION
These functions allow the manipulation of POSIX signal sets.
sigemptyset() initializes
the signal set given by set to empty, with all signals
excluded from the set.
sigfillset() initializes
set to full,
including all signals.
sigaddset() and sigdelset() add and delete respectively
signal signum from
set.
sigismember() tests whether
signum is a member of
set.
Objects of type sigset_t must be
initialized by a call to either sigemptyset() or sigfillset() before being passed to the
functions sigaddset(),
sigdelset() and sigismember() or the additional glibc
functions described below (sigisemptyset(), sigandset(), and sigorset()). The results are undefined if
this is not done.
RETURN VALUE
sigemptyset(), sigfillset(), sigaddset(), and sigdelset() return 0 on success and
−1 on error.
sigismember() returns 1 if
signum is a member of
set, 0 if signum is not a member, and
−1 on error.
NOTES
Glibc Notes
If the _GNU_SOURCE feature
test macro is defined, then <signal.h>
exposes three other functions for manipulating signal
sets.
int sigisemptyset(sigset_t *set);-
returns 1 if
setcontains no signals, and 0 otherwise. int sigorset(sigset_t *dest,sigset_t *left,sigset_t *right);-
places the union of the sets
leftandrightindest. int sigandset(sigset_t *dest,sigset_t *left,sigset_t *right);-
places the intersection of the sets
leftandrightindest.
sigorset() and
sigandset() return 0 on
success, and −1 on failure.
These functions are nonstandard (a few other systems provide similar functions) and their use should be avoided in portable applications.
