SIGSETOPS(3)            NetBSD Library Functions Manual           SIGSETOPS(3)


NAME
sigemptyset, sigfillset, sigaddset, sigdelset, sigismember -- manipulate 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(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 sig- nal set. The sigismember() function returns whether a specified signal signo is contained in the signal set. sigemptyset() and sigfillset() are provided as macros, but actual func- tions are available if their names are undefined (with #undef name).
RETURN VALUES
The sigismember() function returns 1 if the signal is a member of the set, a 0 otherwise. The other functions return 0 upon success. A -1 return 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.
