SIGACTION(2)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	     SIGACTION(2)


NAME
     sigwait - wait for a signal

SYNOPSIS
     #include <signal.h>

     int sigwait(set, sig)
     sigset_t *set;
     int *sig;

DESCRIPTION
     Sigwait checks for a pending signal in set, clears it from
     the set of pending signals and returns the signal number in
     the location referenced by sig.  If more than one of the
     signals contained in set is pending then sigwait selects
     only one and acts upon it.  If no signal contained in set is
     pending, then sigwait waits for a signal to arrive.  All of
     the signals contained in set should be blocked or unpredict-
     able results may occur.

RETURN VALUES
     The sigwait function returns 0 if successful and the signal
     number is stored in the location referenced by sig.

ERRORS
     The sigwait function may return one of the following errors:

     EINVAL		 The set argument contains an invalid or
			 unsupported signal number.

     EFAULT		 Sig points to memory that is not a valid
			 part of the process address space.

SEE ALSO
     sigprocmask(2)

STANDARDS
     The sigwait function call conforms to IEEE Std1003.1-1998
     (``POSIX'').
