        SYNTAX

        #include <signal.h>

        int     sigsetmask (signal_mask)
        int     signal_mask;


        PARAMETERS

        signal_mask    Set of signals to be blocked.


        DESCRIPTION

        Sigsetmask assigns the set of signals specified in <signal_mask>
        to the set of signals blocked from presentation.  Signal "s" is
        represented by the value "sigmask(s)" in <signal_mask>.

        It is not possible to block SIGKILL, SIGSTOP, or SIGCONT.  It may
        or may not be possible to block signals that are not defined by
        the system.  An attempt to block these signals will not produce
        an error.


        ACCESS CONTROL

        None.


        RETURN VALUE

        <old_signal_mask>
                       The previous set of signals being blocked from
                       presentation.


        EXCEPTIONS

        None.
