Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh NAME

.Nm sigsuspend
|
|
.Nd atomically release blocked signals and wait for interrupt
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY

|
.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 .
