17.Sh NAME
18.Nm Psignal
19.Nd set signal tracing action
20.Sh LIBRARY
21.Lb libproc
22.Sh SYNOPSIS
23.In libproc.h

25.Fo Psignal

30.Sh DESCRIPTION
31The
32.Fn Psignal
33function sets the signal tracing flag for the process handle
34.Fa P .
35If
36.Fa stop
37is
38.Sy non-zero
39it causes the process handle to stop threads that encounter the signal
40.Fa which .
41If
42.Fa stop
43is
44.Sy zero ,
45then it disables tracing for the signal
46.Fa which .
47.Pp
48The signal constants, representing valid values for
49.Fa which ,
50can be found in
51.Xr signal.h 3HEAD .
52The signal
53.Dv SIGKILL
54may not be stopped.
55.Pp
56Note, only active processes may have their signal tracing flags updated.
57Process handles that refer to core files, zombie processes, and files do
58not have signal tracing flags.
59Calling this function on them is an error.
60.Sh RETURN VALUES
61Upon successful completion, the
62.Fn Psignal
63function returns the previous disposition of the signal
64.Fa which .
65It returns
66.Sy 1
67if it was set and
68.Sy 0
69if not.
70Otherwise,
71.Sy -1
72is returned and
73.Sy errno
74is set to indicate the error.
75.Sh ERRORS
76The
77.Fn Psignal
78function will fail if:
79.Bl -tag -width Er
80.It Er EINVAL
81.Fa which
82is
83.Dv SIGKILL
84and
85.Fa stop
86is non-zero .

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