20.Sh SYNOPSIS
21.Lb libproc
22.In libproc.h

29.Sh DESCRIPTION
30The
31.Fn Psignal
32function sets the signal tracing flag for the process handle
33.Fa P .
34If
35.Fa stop
36is
37.Sy non-zero
38it causes the process handle to stop threads that encounter the signal
39.Fa which .
40If
41.Fa stop
42is
43.Sy zero ,
44then it disables tracing for the signal
45.Fa which .
46.Pp
47The signal constants, representing valid values for
48.Fa which ,
49can be found in
50.Xr signal.h 3HEAD.
51The signal
52.Dv SIGKILL
53may not be stopped.
54.Pp
55Note, only active processes may have their signal tracing flags updated.
56Process handles that refer to core files, zombie processes, and files do
57not have signal tracing flags.
58Calling this function on them is an error.
59.Sh RETURN VALUES
60Upon successful completion, the
61.Fn Psignal
62function returns the previous disposition of the signal
63.Fa which .
64It returns
65.Sy 1
66if it was set and
67.Sy 0
68if not.
69Otherwise,
70.Sy -1
71is returned and
72.Sy errno
73is set to indicate the error.
74.Sh ERRORS
75The
76.Fn Psignal
77function will fail if:
78.Bl -tag -width Er
79.It Er EINVAL
80.Fa which
81is
82.Dv SIGKILL
83and
84.Fa stop
85is non-zero .

87.Fa which
88is not a valid signal.
89.It Er ENOENT
90.Fa P
