SIGIGNORE(3)            NetBSD Library Functions Manual           SIGIGNORE(3)


NAME

     sigignore -- manipulate signal dispositions


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <signal.h>

     int
     sigignore(int sig);


DESCRIPTION

     This interface is made obsolete by sigaction(2).

     The sigignore() function sets the disposition of the signal sig to
     SIG_IGN.


RETURN VALUES

     If successful, the sigignore() function returns 0.  Otherwise -1 is
     returned and errno is set to indicate the error.


ERRORS

     The sigignore() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]           The argument sig is not a valid signal number; or an
                        attempt is made to ignore a signal that cannot be
                        ignored, such as SIGKILL or SIGSTOP.


SEE ALSO

     sigaction(2)


STANDARDS

     The sigignore() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
     It was however marked as obsolete in the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008
     (``POSIX.1'') revision of the standard.
