- The ssiiggpprrooccmmaasskk() function examines and/or changes the current signal
- mask (those signals that are blocked from delivery). Signals are blocked
- if they are members of the current signal mask set.
-
- If _s_e_t is not null, the action of ssiiggpprrooccmmaasskk() depends on the value of
- the parameter _h_o_w. The signal mask is changed as a function of the speci
- fied _s_e_t and the current mask. The function is specified by _h_o_w using
- one of the following values from <_s_i_g_n_a_l_._h>:
-
- SIG_BLOCK The new mask is the union of the current mask and the speci
- fied _s_e_t.
-
- SIG_UNBLOCK The new mask is the intersection of the current mask and the
- complement of the specified _s_e_t.
-
- SIG_SETMASK The current mask is replaced by the specified _s_e_t.
-
- If _o_s_e_t is not null, it is set to the previous value of the signal mask.
- When _s_e_t is null, the value of _h_o_w is insignificant and the mask remains
- unset providing a way to examine the signal mask without modification.
-
- The system quietly disallows SIGKILL or SIGSTOP to be blocked.

- A 0 value indicated that the call succeeded. A 1 return value indicates
- an error occurred and _e_r_r_n_o is set to indicated the reason.
-
- EERRRROORRSS
- The ssiiggpprrooccmmaasskk() call will fail and the signal mask will be unchanged if
- one of the following occurs:
-
- [EINVAL] _h_o_w has a value other than those listed here.

- The ssiiggpprrooccmmaasskk function call is expected to conform to IEEE
- Std1003.11988 (``POSIX'').
