NAMEsigdelset - delete a signal from a signal set
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int signo);
DESCRIPTION
The sigdelset() function deletes the individual signal specified by
signo from the signal set pointed to by set.
Applications should call either sigemptyset() or sigfillset() at least
once for each object of type sigset_t prior to any other use of that
object. If such an object is not initialized in this way, but is none‐
theless supplied as an argument to any of pthread_sigmask(), sigac‐
tion(), sigaddset(), sigdelset(), sigismember(), sigpending(), sigproc‐
mask(), sigsuspend(), sigtimedwait(), sigwait(), or sigwaitinfo(), the
results are undefined.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, sigdelset() shall return 0; otherwise, it
shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The sigdelset() function may fail if:
EINVAL The signo argument is not a valid signal number, or is an unsup‐
ported signal number.
The following sections are informative.
