SIGWAIT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SIGWAIT(3)
NAME
sigwait - wait for a signal
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int sigwait(const sigset_t *set, int *sig);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sigwait(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The sigwait() function suspends execution of the calling thread until
one of the signals specified in the signal set set becomes pending.
The function accepts the signal (removes it from the pending list of
signals), and returns the signal number in sig.
The operation of sigwait() is the same as sigwaitinfo(2), except that:
* sigwait() returns only the signal number, rather than a siginfo_t
structure describing the signal.
* The return values of the two functions are different.
RETURN VALUE
On success, sigwait() returns 0. On error, it returns a positive error
number (listed in ERRORS).
ERRORS
EINVAL set contains an invalid signal number.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The sigwait() function is thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
sigwait() is implemented using sigtimedwait(2).
EXAMPLE
See pthread_sigmask(3).
