SIGWAIT(3)                                                              Linux Programmer's Manual                                                             SIGWAIT(3)

NAME
       sigwait - wait for a signal

SYNOPSIS
       #include <signal.h>

       int sigwait(const sigset_t *restrict set, int *restrict sig);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       sigwait():
           Since glibc 2.26:
               _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199506L
           Glibc 2.25 and earlier:
               _POSIX_C_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION
       The  sigwait()  function suspends execution of the calling thread until one of the signals specified in the signal set set becomes pending.  The function accepts
       the signal (removes it from the pending list of signals), and returns the signal number in sig.

       The operation of sigwait() is the same as sigwaitinfo(2), except that:

       * sigwait() returns only the signal number, rather than a siginfo_t structure describing the signal.

       * The return values of the two functions are different.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, sigwait() returns 0.  On error, it returns a positive error number (listed in ERRORS).

ERRORS
       EINVAL set contains an invalid signal number.

ATTRIBUTES
       For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

NOTES
       sigwait() is implemented using sigtimedwait(2).

       The glibc implementation of sigwait() silently ignores attempts to wait for the two real-time signals that are used internally by the NPTL threading  implementa‐
       tion.  See nptl(7) for details.

EXAMPLES
       See pthread_sigmask(3).
