NAME

sigaddset — add a signal to a signal set

SYNOPSIS

  #include <signal.h>
  int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signo);

DESCRIPTION

The sigaddset/() function adds the individual signal specified by the /signo to the signal set pointed to by set.

Applications shall call either /sigemptyset/() or /sigfillset/() at least once for each object of type sigset_t prior to any other use of that object. If such an object is not initialized in this way, but is nonetheless supplied as an argument to any of /pthread_sigmask/(), /sigaction/(), /sigaddset/(), /sigdelset/(), /sigismember/(), /sigpending/(), /sigprocmask/(), /sigsuspend/(), /sigtimedwait/(), /sigwait/(), or /sigwaitinfo/(), the results are undefined.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, sigaddset/() shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return -1 and set /errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The /sigaddset/() function may fail if:

EINVAL
The value of the signo argument is an invalid or unsupported signal number.
