PTHREAD_SIGMASK(3)	    Library Functions Manual	    PTHREAD_SIGMASK(3)

NAME
       pthread_sigmask -- examine and/or change	a thread's signal mask

LIBRARY
       POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<pthread.h>
       #include	<signal.h>

       int
       pthread_sigmask(int    how,    const    sigset_t	   *   restrict	  set,
	   sigset_t * restrict oset);

DESCRIPTION
       The pthread_sigmask() function  examines	 and/or	 changes  the  calling
       thread's	signal mask.

       If  set	is not NULL, it	specifies a set	of signals to be modified, and
       how specifies what to set the signal mask to:

       SIG_BLOCK    Union of the current mask and set.

       SIG_UNBLOCK  Intersection of the	current	mask  and  the	complement  of
		    set.

       SIG_SETMASK  set.

       If oset is not NULL, the	previous signal	mask is	stored in the location
       pointed to by oset.

       SIGKILL	and SIGSTOP cannot be blocked, and will	be silently ignored if
       included	in the signal mask.

RETURN VALUES
       If successful, pthread_sigmask()	returns	0.  Otherwise, an error	is re-
       turned.

ERRORS
       The pthread_sigmask() function will fail	if:

       [EINVAL]		  how is not one of the	defined	values.
