0 Command: sigblock | Section: 2 | Source: Digital UNIX | File: sigblock.2.gz
sigblock(2) System Calls Manual sigblock(2) NAME sigblock - Provides a compatibility interface to the sigprocmask func- tion LIBRARY Standard C Library (libc.a) SYNOPSIS int sigblock( int mask ); PARAMETERS Specifies the signals to be added to the set of signals currently being blocked from delivery. DESCRIPTION The sigblock() function causes the signals specified by the mask para- meter to be added to the set of signals currently being blocked from delivery. The signals are blocked from delivery by logically ORing the mask parameter into the signal mask of the process. Signal i is blocked if the i-th bit in the mask parameter is a value of 1. Only signals with values 1-31 can be masked with the sigblock() function. NOTES It is not possible to block SIGKILL. The system provides no indication of this restriction. The sigblock() function is provided for compatibility to other UNIX systems. Its function is a subset of the sigprocmask() function. RETURN VALUES On completion, the previous set of masked signals is returned. RELATED INFORMATION Functions: kill(2), sigaction(2), sigpause(3), sigprocmask(2), sigsus- pend(2), sigvec(2) delim off sigblock(2)
