SIGSETMASK(2) SIGSETMASK(2) NAME sigsetmask - set current signal mask SYNOPSIS #include <signal.h> sigsetmask(mask); int mask; mask = sigmask(signum) DESCRIPTION Sigsetmask sets the current signal mask (those signals that are blocked from delivery). Signals are blocked if the corresponding bit in mask is a 1; the macro sigmask is provided to construct the mask for a given signum. The system quietly disallows SIGKILL, SIGSTOP, or SIGCONT to be blocked. RETURN VALUE The previous set of masked signals is returned.
