45 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
46 | The | |
47 | .BR sigwait () | |
5011ecfd MK |
48 | function suspends execution of the calling thread until |
49 | one of the signals specified in the signal set | |
50 | .IR set | |
51 | becomes pending. | |
e95c1726 MK |
52 | The function accepts the signal |
53 | (removes it from the pending list of signals), | |
54 | and returns the signal number in | |
a3dadfe8 | 55 | .IR sig . |
e95c1726 MK |
56 | |
57 | The operation of | |
58 | .BR sigwait () | |
59 | is the same as | |
0b80cf56 | 60 | .BR sigwaitinfo (2), |
e95c1726 MK |
61 | except that: |
62 | .IP * 2 | |
63 | .BR sigwait () | |
33a0ccb2 | 64 | returns only the signal number, rather than a |
e95c1726 MK |
65 | .I siginfo_t |
66 | structure describing the signal. | |
67 | .IP * | |
68 | The return values of the two functions are different. | |
69 | .SH RETURN VALUE | |
70 | On success, | |
71 | .BR sigwait () | |
72 | returns 0. | |
535f0df5 | 73 | On error, it returns a positive error number (listed in ERRORS). |

76 | .B EINVAL | |
77 | .\" Does not occur for glibc. | |
