and sigsuspend(2), all three of which operate or depend on the process signal mask. Add a missing xref to sigsetops(3), without which the above three syscalls would be useless.

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In signal.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn sigsuspend "const sigset_t *sigmask"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigsuspend
|
|
system call
|
|
temporarily changes the blocked signal mask to the set to which
|
|
.Fa sigmask
|
|
points,
|
|
and then waits for a signal to arrive;
|
|
on return the previous set of masked signals is restored.
|
|
The signal mask set
|
|
is usually empty to indicate that all
|
|
signals are to be unblocked for the duration of the call.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In normal usage, a signal is blocked using
|
|
.Xr sigprocmask 2
|
|
to begin a critical section, variables modified on the occurrence
|
|
of the signal are examined to determine that there is no work
|
|
to be done, and the process pauses awaiting work by using
|
|
.Fn sigsuspend
|
|
with the previous mask returned by
|
|
.Xr sigprocmask 2 .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sigsuspend
|
|
system call
|
|
always terminates by being interrupted, returning -1 with
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
set to
|
|
.Er EINTR .
