NAME

posix_spawnattr_getsigmask, posix_spawnattr_setsigmask - get and set the spawn-sigmask attribute of a spawn attributes object (ADVANCED REALTIME)

SYNOPSIS

[SPN] [Option Start] #include <signal.h>
#include <spawn.h>

int posix_spawnattr_getsigmask(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict
attr,
       sigset_t *restrict
sigmask);
int posix_spawnattr_setsigmask(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict
attr,
       const sigset_t *restrict
sigmask); [Option End]

DESCRIPTION

The posix_spawnattr_getsigmask() function shall obtain the value of the spawn-sigmask attribute from the attributes object referenced by attr.

The posix_spawnattr_setsigmask() function shall set the spawn-sigmask attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced by attr.

The spawn-sigmask attribute represents the signal mask in effect in the new process image of a spawn operation (if POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK is set in the spawn-flags attribute). The default value of this attribute is unspecified.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_getsigmask() shall return zero and store the value of the spawn-sigmask attribute of attr into the object referenced by the sigmask parameter; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

Upon successful completion, posix_spawnattr_setsigmask() shall return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

ERRORS

These functions may fail if:

[EINVAL]
The value specified by attr is invalid.

The posix_spawnattr_setsigmask() function may fail if:

[EINVAL]
The value of the attribute being set is not valid.

The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

APPLICATION USAGE
