man sigdelset () - delete a signal from a signal set
NAME
sigdelset - delete a signal from a signal set
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int signo);
DESCRIPTION
The sigdelset() function deletes the individual signal specified by signo from the signal set pointed to by set.
Applications should 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, sigdelset() shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The sigdelset() function may fail if:
- EINVAL
- The signo argument is not a valid signal number, or is an unsupported signal number.
