Syntaxsigblock(mask)
int mask;
Description
The system call causes the signals specified in mask to be added to the
set of signals currently being blocked from delivery. Signal i is
blocked if the ith bit in mask is a 1.
It is not possible to block SIGKILL or SIGSTOP. This restriction is
silently imposed by the system.
The previous set of masked signals is returned.
