NAME
sigsuspend - atomically release blocked signals and wait for interruptLIBRARY
Lb libcSYNOPSIS
In signal.h Ft int Fn sigsuspend const sigset_t *sigmaskDESCRIPTION
The Fn sigsuspend system call temporarily changes the blocked signal mask to the set to which Fa sigmask points, and then waits for a signal to arrive; on return the previous set of masked signals is restored. The signal mask set is usually empty to indicate that all signals are to be unblocked for the duration of the call.In normal usage, a signal is blocked using sigprocmask(2) to begin a critical section, variables modified on the occurrence of the signal are examined to determine that there is no work to be done, and the process pauses awaiting work by using Fn sigsuspend with the previous mask returned by sigprocmask(2).
RETURN VALUES
The Fn sigsuspend system call always terminates by being interrupted, returning -1 with errno set to Er EINTR .SEE ALSO

The Fn sigsuspend system call is expected to conform to St -p1003.1-90 .Contenus ©2006-2024 Benjamin Poulain
