function does not modify its
.I timeout_ts
argument.
The raw
.BR ppoll ()
system call has a fifth argument,
.IR "size_t sigsetsize" ,
which specifies the size in bytes of the
.IR sigmask
argument.

.BR ppoll ()
wrapper function specifies this argument as a fixed value
(equal to
.IR sizeof(sigset_t) ).
