44.In signal.h
45.Ft int
46.Fn sigemptyset "sigset_t *set"
47.Ft int
48.Fn sigfillset "sigset_t *set"
49.Ft int

55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56These functions manipulate signal sets stored in a
57.Fa sigset_t .
58Either
59.Fn sigemptyset
60or
61.Fn sigfillset
62must be called for every object of type
63.Fa sigset_t
64before any other use of the object.
65.Pp
66The
67.Fn sigemptyset
68function initializes a signal set to be empty.
69.Pp
70The
71.Fn sigfillset
72function initializes a signal set to contain all signals.
73.Pp
74The
75.Fn sigaddset
76function adds the specified signal
77.Fa signo
78to the signal set.
79.Pp
80The
81.Fn sigdelset
82function deletes the specified signal
83.Fa signo
84from the signal set.
85.Pp
86The
87.Fn sigismember
88function returns whether a specified signal
89.Fa signo
90is contained in the signal set.
91.Sh RETURN VALUES
92The
93.Fn sigismember
94function returns 1
95if the signal is a member of the set,
960 otherwise.
97The other functions return 0 upon success.
98A \-1 return value
99indicates an error occurred and the global variable
100.Va errno
101is set to indicate the reason.
102.Sh ERRORS
103These functions could fail if one of the following occurs:
104.Bl -tag -width Er
105.It Bq Er EINVAL
106.Fa signo
107has an invalid value.
