NAME
sigaddset - add a signal to a signal set
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h> int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signo);
DESCRIPTION
The sigaddset() function adds the individual signal specified by the signo to the signal set pointed to by set. Applications shall call either sigemptyset() or sigfillset() at least once for each object of type sigset_t prior to any other use of that object. If such an object is not initialized in this way, but is nonetheless supplied as an argument to any of pthread_sigmask(), sigac- tion(), sigaddset(), sigdelset(), sigismember(), sigpending(), sigprocmask(), sigsuspend(), sigtimedwait(), sigwait(), or sigwaitinfo(), the results are undefined.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, sigaddset() shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The sigaddset() function may fail if: EINVAL The value of the signo argument is an invalid or unsupported signal number. The following sections are informative.
