SIGSETOPS(3)		    Library Functions Manual		  SIGSETOPS(3)

NAME
       sigemptyset,  sigfillset,  sigaddset, sigdelset,	sigismember -- manipu-
       late signal sets

LIBRARY
       Standard	C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<signal.h>

       int
       sigemptyset(sigset_t *set);

       int
       sigfillset(sigset_t *set);

       int
       sigaddset(sigset_t *set,	int signo);

       int
       sigdelset(sigset_t *set,	int signo);

       int
       sigismember(const sigset_t *set,	int signo);

DESCRIPTION
       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  sig-
       nals.

       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.

RETURN VALUES
       The sigismember() function returns 1 if the signal is a member  of  the
       set, 0 otherwise.  The other functions return 0 upon success.  A	-1 re-
       turn value indicates an error occurred and the global variable errno is
       set to indicate the reason.

ERRORS
       These functions could fail if one of the	following occurs:

       [EINVAL]		  signo	has an invalid value.

SEE ALSO
       kill(2),	sigaction(2), sigpending(2), sigprocmask(2), sigsuspend(2)

STANDARDS
       These functions are defined by IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 ("POSIX.1").
