NAME
sigsetmask - set current signal mask
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
sigsetmask(mask);
int mask;
mask = sigmask(signum)
DESCRIPTION
Sigsetmask sets the current signal mask (those signals that
are
blocked from delivery). Signals are blocked if the
corresponding
bit in mask is a 1; the macro sigmask is provided to
construct the
mask for a given signum.
The system quietly disallows
SIGKILL, SIGSTOP, or SIGCONT to be
blocked.
RETURN VALUE
The previous set of masked signals is returned.
