sigsetmask(3)          C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS          sigsetmask(3)



NAME
     sigsetmask - set current signal mask

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file ... -lucb #include <signal.h>
     sigsetmask(mask);
     int mask;
     #define 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  pro-
     vided  to construct the mask for a given signum.  The system
     quietly disallows SIGKILL, SIGSTOP, or  SIGCONT  from  being
     blocked.

RETURN VALUE
     The previous set of masked signals is returned.
