| 31 | .Os | |
| 32 | .Sh NAME | |
| 33 | .Nm sigwait | |
| 34 | .Nd select a set of signals | |
| 35 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | |
| 36 | .In signal.h | |
| 37 | .Ft int | |
| 38 | .Fn sigwait "const sigset_t *set" "int *sig" | |
| 39 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 40 | The | |
| 41 | .Fn sigwait | |
| 42 | function selects a set of signals, specified by | |
| 43 | .Fa set . | |
| 44 | If none of the selected signals are pending, | |
| 45 | .Fn sigwait | |
| 46 | waits until one or more of the selected signals has been generated. | |
| 47 | Then | |
| 48 | .Fn sigwait | |
| 49 | atomically clears one of the selected signals from the set of pending signals | |
| 50 | for the process and sets the location pointed to by | |
| 51 | .Fa sig | |
| 52 | to the signal number that was cleared. | |
| 53 | .Pp | |
| 54 | The signals specified by | |
| 55 | .Fa set | |
| 9385eb3d | 56 | should be blocked, but not ignored, at the time of the call to |
| 5b2abdfb | 57 | .Fn sigwait . |
| 9385eb3d A |
58 | .Pp |
| 59 | Processes which call | |
| 60 | .Fn sigwait | |
| 61 | on ignored signals will wait indefinately. Ignored | |
| 62 | signals are dropped immeadiately by the system, before delivery | |
| 63 | to a waiting process. | |
| 5b2abdfb A |
64 | .Sh RETURN VALUES |
| 65 | If successful, | |
| 66 | .Fn sigwait | |
| 67 | returns 0 and sets the location pointed to by | |
| 68 | .Fa sig | |
| 69 | to the cleared signal number. | |
| 70 | Otherwise, an error number is returned. | |
| 71 | .Sh ERRORS | |
| 72 | .Fn sigwait | |
| 73 | will fail if: | |
| 74 | .Bl -tag -width Er | |
| 75 | .It Bq Er EINVAL | |
| 76 | .Fa set | |
| 77 | specifies one or more invalid signal numbers. | |
