sigsuspend

SIGSUSPEND(2)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						     SIGSUSPEND(2)

NAME

       sigsuspend - wait for a signal

SYNOPSIS

       #include <signal.h>

       int sigsuspend(const sigset_t *mask);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       sigsuspend(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       sigsuspend()  temporarily  replaces  the signal mask of the calling process with the mask given by mask and then suspends the process until
       delivery of a signal whose action is to invoke a signal handler or to terminate a process.

       If the signal terminates the process, then sigsuspend() does not return.  If the signal is caught, then sigsuspend() returns after the sig-
       nal handler returns, and the signal mask is restored to the state before the call to sigsuspend().

       It is not possible to block SIGKILL or SIGSTOP; specifying these signals in mask, has no effect on the process's signal mask.

RETURN VALUE

       sigsuspend() always returns -1, normally with the error EINTR.

ERRORS

       EFAULT mask points to memory which is not a valid part of the process address space.

       EINTR  The call was interrupted by a signal.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       Normally, sigsuspend() is used in conjunction with sigprocmask(2) in order to prevent delivery of a signal during the execution of a criti-
       cal code section.  The caller first blocks the signals with sigprocmask(2).  When the critical code has completed, the  caller  then  waits
       for the signals by calling sigsuspend() with the signal mask that was returned by sigprocmask(2) (in the oldset argument).

       See sigsetops(3) for details on manipulating signal sets.
