NAME

       sigemptyset, sigfillset, sigaddset, sigdelset, sigismember - POSIX signal set operations.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <signal.h>

       int sigemptyset(sigset_t *set);

       int sigfillset(sigset_t *set);

       int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signum);

       int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int signum);

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

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       sigemptyset(), sigfillset(), sigaddset(), sigdelset(), sigismember():
           _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       These functions allow the manipulation of POSIX signal sets.

       sigemptyset() initializes the signal set given by set to empty, with all signals excluded from the set.

       sigfillset() initializes set to full, including all signals.

       sigaddset() and sigdelset() add and delete respectively signal signum from set.

       sigismember() tests whether signum is a member of set.

       Objects  of  type  sigset_t  must be initialized by a call to either sigemptyset() or sigfillset() before
       being passed to the  functions  sigaddset(),  sigdelset()  and  sigismember()  or  the  additional  glibc
       functions  described  below (sigisemptyset(), sigandset(), and sigorset()).  The results are undefined if
       this is not done.

RETURN VALUE

       sigemptyset(), sigfillset(), sigaddset(), and sigdelset() return 0 on success and -1 on error.

       sigismember() returns 1 if signum is a member of set, 0 if signum is not a member, and -1 on  error.   On
       error, these functions set errno to indicate the cause.

ERRORS

       EINVAL sig is not a valid signal.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

   Glibc notes
       If  the  _GNU_SOURCE  feature  test  macro  is defined, then <signal.h> exposes three other functions for
       manipulating signal sets.

       int sigisemptyset(sigset_t *set);
              returns 1 if set contains no signals, and 0 otherwise.

       int sigorset(sigset_t *dest, sigset_t *left, sigset_t *right);
              places the union of the sets left and right in dest.

       int sigandset(sigset_t *dest, sigset_t *left, sigset_t *right);
              places the intersection of the sets left and right in dest.

       sigorset() and sigandset() return 0 on success, and -1 on failure.

       These functions are nonstandard (a few other systems provide similar functions) and their use  should  be
       avoided in portable applications.
