NAMEpthread_sigmask − examine and change mask of blocked signals
LIBRARYPOSIX threads library (libpthread, −lpthread)
SYNOPSIS#include <signal.h>int pthread_sigmask(int how, const sigset_t *set, sigset_t *oldset);Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): pthread_sigmask(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199506L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
DESCRIPTIONThe pthread_sigmask() function is just like sigprocmask(2), with the difference that its use in multithreaded programs is explicitly specified by POSIX.1. Other differences are noted in this page. For a description of the arguments and operation of this function, see sigprocmask(2).
RETURN VALUEOn success, pthread_sigmask() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.
ERRORSSee sigprocmask(2).
ATTRIBUTESFor an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). InterfaceAttributeValue pthread_sigmask() Thread safetyMT-Safe
STANDARDSPOSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
NOTESA new thread inherits a copy of its creator's signal mask. The glibc pthread_sigmask() function silently ignores attempts to block the two real-time signals that are used internally by the NPTL threading implementation. See nptl(7) for details.
EXAMPLESThe program below blocks some signals in the main thread, and then creates a dedicated thread to fetch those signals via sigwait(3). The following shell session demonstrates its use: $ ./a.out &
[1] 5423
$ kill −QUIT %1
Signal handling thread got signal 3
$ kill −USR1 %1
Signal handling thread got signal 10
$ kill −TERM %1
[1]+ Terminated ./a.out

if (s != 0)
handle_error_en(s, "pthread_create");
/* Main thread carries on to create other threads and/or do
other work. */
pause(); /* Dummy pause so we can test program */
