PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       sigaddset — add a signal to a signal set

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <signal.h>

       int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signo);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The sigaddset() function adds the individual signal specified by
       the signo to the signal set pointed to by set.

       Applications shall 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 nonetheless supplied as an argument to any of
       pthread_sigmask(), sigaction(), sigaddset(), sigdelset(),
       sigismember(), sigpending(), sigprocmask(), sigsuspend(),
       sigtimedwait(), sigwait(), or sigwaitinfo(), the results are
       undefined.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, sigaddset() shall return 0;
       otherwise, it shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the
       error.

ERRORS         top

       The sigaddset() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The value of the signo argument is an invalid or
              unsupported signal number.
