SIGWAIT(2) BSD System Calls Manual SIGWAIT(2)
NAME
sigwait -- select a set of signals
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int
sigwait(const sigset_t *restrict set, int *restrict sig);
DESCRIPTION
The sigwait() function selects a set of signals, specified by set. If none of the selected signals are
pending, sigwait() waits until one or more of the selected signals has been generated. Then sigwait()
atomically clears one of the selected signals from the set of pending signals for the process and sets
the location pointed to by sig to the signal number that was cleared.
The signals specified by set should be blocked, but not ignored, at the time of the call to sigwait().
Processes which call sigwait() on ignored signals will wait indefinitely. Ignored signals are dropped
immediately by the system, before delivery to a waiting process.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, sigwait() returns 0 and sets the location pointed to by sig to the cleared signal num-ber. number.
ber. Otherwise, an error number is returned.
ERRORS
sigwait() will fail if:
[EINVAL] set specifies one or more invalid signal numbers.
