.Sh NAME
.Nm sigpending
.Nd get pending signals
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In signal.h
.Ft int
.Fn sigpending "sigset_t *set"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn sigpending
system call returns a mask of the signals pending for delivery
to the calling thread or the calling process in the location indicated by
.Fa set .
Signals may be pending because they are currently masked,
or transiently before delivery (although the latter case is not
normally detectable).
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Rv -std sigpending
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn sigpending
system call
will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EFAULT
The
.Fa set
argument specified an invalid address.
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr sigaction 2 ,
.Xr sigprocmask 2 ,
.Xr sigsuspend 2 ,
.Xr sigsetops 3
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn sigpending
system call is expected to conform to
.St -p1003.1-90 .

Correctly use .Fn instead of .Nm to reference function names in a bunch of man pages. Use the correct .Bx (BSD UNIX) or .At (AT&T UNIX) macros instead of explicitly specifying the version in the text in a bunch of man pages. 1996-08-22 23:31:07 +00:00			`.Fn sigpending`
mdoc(7) police: Tidy up the syscall language. Stop calling system calls "function calls". Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility". When referring to a non-BSD implementation in the HISTORY section, call syscall a function, to be safe. 2002-12-18 09:22:32 +00:00			`system call returns a mask of the signals pending for delivery`
