Deletes a signal from a signal set.
Syntax |
 |
#include <signal.h>
int sigdelset (sigset_t *set, int sig);
|
Parameters |
|
- set
A pointer to a structure of type sigset_t containing a set of signals from which sig is to be deleted.
- sig
The signal number of the signal to delete from set. Valid signals are described in Table 3-6 “POSIX/iX Signals”.
Return Values |
|
- 0
Success.
- -1
An error occurred. The signal is not deleted, and errno is set to indicate the error condition.
Description |
|
The sigdelset() function deletes the signal sig from the set of signals specified in the structure pointed to by set.
The structure of type sigset_t pointed to by set must be initialized by sigemptyset() or sigfillset() prior to being used by sigdelset(); otherwise, the results are undefined.
Implementation Considerations |
|
Refer to the EFAULT error description below.
Errors |
|
If an error occurs, errno is set to one of the following values:
| EFAULT | CAUSE | The system detected a NULL or bad address in attempting to use
the set parameter. |
| | ACTION | Make sure that the pointer is correctly initialized. |
| EINVAL | CAUSE | The signal sig is not a valid signal number. |
| | ACTION | Refer to Table 3-6 “POSIX/iX Signals” for descriptions of valid signal numbers. |
