.TH SGETMASK 7 2007-07-05 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
||||||
|
.SH NAME
|
||||||
|
sgetmask, ssetmask \- manipulation of signal mask (obsolete)
|
||||||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||||
|
.BI "long sgetmask(void);"
|
||||||
|
.sp
|
||||||
|
.BI "long ssetmask(long " newmask );
|
||||||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
These system calls are obsolete.
|
||||||
|
.IR "Do not use them" ;
|
||||||
|
use
|
||||||
|
.BR sigprocmask (2)
|
||||||
|
instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.BR sgetmask ()
|
||||||
|
returns the signal mask of the calling process.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.BR ssetmask ()
|
||||||
|
sets the
|
||||||
|
signal mask of the calling process to the value given in
|
||||||
|
.IR newmask .
|
||||||
|
The previous signal mask is returned.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The signal masks dealt with by these two system calls
|
||||||
|
are plain bit masks (unlike the
|
||||||
|
.I sigset_t
|
||||||
|
used by
|
||||||
|
.BR sigprocmask (2));
|
||||||
|
use the
|
||||||
|
.BR sigmask (3)
|
||||||
|
function to create and inspect these masks.
|
||||||
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||||||
|
.BR sgetmask ()
|
||||||
|
always successfully returns the signal mask.
|
||||||
|
.BR ssetmask ()
|
||||||
|
always succeeds, and returns the previous signal mask.
|
||||||
|
.SH ERRORS
|
||||||
|
These system calls always succeed.
|
||||||
|
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
||||||
|
These system calls are Linux specific.
|
||||||
|
.SH NOTES
|
||||||
|
Glibc does not provide wrappers for these system calls; use
|
||||||
|
.BR syscall (2).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These system calls are unaware of signal numbers greater than 31
|
||||||
|
(i.e., real-time signals).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is not possible to block
|
||||||
|
.B SIGSTOP
|
||||||
|
or
|
||||||
|
.BR SIGKILL .
|
||||||
|
