48.Sh SYNOPSIS
49.Fd #include \*[Lt]signal.h\*[Gt]
50.Ft int
51.Fn sigemptyset "sigset_t *set"
52.Ft int
53.Fn sigfillset "sigset_t *set"
54.Ft int
55.Fn sigaddset "sigset_t *set" "int signo"

60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61These functions manipulate signal sets stored in a
62.Fa sigset_t .
63Either
64.Fn sigemptyset
65or
66.Fn sigfillset
67must be called for every object of type
68.Fa sigset_t
69before any other use of the object.
70.Pp
71The
72.Fn sigemptyset
73function initializes a signal set to be empty.
74.Pp
75The
76.Fn sigfillset
77function initializes a signal set to contain all signals.
78.Pp
79The
80.Fn sigaddset
81function adds the specified signal
82.Fa signo
83to the signal set.
84.Pp
85The
86.Fn sigdelset
87function deletes the specified signal
88.Fa signo
89from the signal set.
90.Pp
91The
92.Fn sigismember
93function returns whether a specified signal
94.Fa signo
95is contained in the signal set.
96.Pp
97.Fn sigemptyset
98and
99.Fn sigfillset
100are provided as macros, but actual functions are available
101if their names are undefined (with #undef
102.Em name ) .
103.Sh RETURN VALUES
104The
105.Fn sigismember
106function returns 1
107if the signal is a member of the set,
108a 0 otherwise.
109The other functions return 0 upon success.
110A \-1 return value
111indicates an error occurred and the global variable
112.Va errno
113is set to indicate the reason.
114.Sh ERRORS
115These functions could fail if one of the following occurs:
116.Bl -tag -width Er
117.It Bq Er EINVAL
118.Fa signo
119has an invalid value.
120.El

122.Xr kill 2 ,
123.Xr sigaction 2 ,
124.Xr sigsuspend 2 ,
125.Xr signal 7
126.Sh STANDARDS
127These functions conform to
128.St -p1003.1-90 .
