SIGSUSPEND(2) FreeBSD System Calls Manual SIGSUSPEND(2) NAME sigsuspend -- atomically release blocked signals and wait for interrupt LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <signal.h> int sigsuspend(const sigset_t *sigmask); DESCRIPTION The sigsuspend() system call temporarily changes the blocked signal mask to the set to which sigmask points, and then waits for a signal to ar- rive; on return the previous set of masked signals is restored. The sig- nal mask set is usually empty to indicate that all signals are to be un- blocked for the duration of the call. In normal usage, a signal is blocked using sigprocmask(2) to begin a critical section, variables modified on the occurrence of the signal are examined to determine that there is no work to be done, and the process pauses awaiting work by using sigsuspend() with the previous mask re- turned by sigprocmask(2). RETURN VALUES The sigsuspend() system call always terminates by being interrupted, re- turning -1 with errno set to EINTR. SEE ALSO pselect(2), sigaction(2), sigpending(2), sigprocmask(2), sigtimedwait(2), sigwait(2), sigwaitinfo(2), sigsetops(3) STANDARDS The sigsuspend() system call is expected to conform to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1990 ("POSIX.1").
