POSIX_SPAWNATTR_SETSIGMASK(3)           BSD Library Functions Manual           POSIX_SPAWNATTR_SETSIGMASK(3)

NAME
     posix_spawnattr_setsigmask posix_spawnattr_getsigmask -- set or get the spawn-sigmask attribute on a
     posix_spawnattr_t

SYNOPSIS
     #include <spawn.h>

     int
     posix_spawnattr_setsigmask(posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, const sigset_t *restrict sigmask);

     int
     posix_spawnattr_getsigmask(const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attr, sigset_t *restrict sigmask);

DESCRIPTION
     The posix_spawnattr_setsigmask() function sets the sigmask on the attributes object referenced by attr.

     The posix_spawnattr_getsigmask() function retrieves the sigmask on the attributes object referenced by
     attr.

     The argument sigmask is the initial signal mask to be set for the new process on creation if the
     POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK flag is set in the posix_spawnattr_t.  It's default value must be set via a call
     to posix_spawnattr_setflags(3) or the behaviour is undefined.

RETURN VALUES
     On success, these functions return 0; on failure they return an error number from <errno.h>.  Addition-ally, Additionally,
     ally, if successful, posix_spawnattr_getsigmask() will modify the contents of the sigmask parameter
     with the current attribute value.

ERRORS
     These functions may fail if:

     [EINVAL]           The value specified by attr is invalid.

     [EINVAL]           The value of attr is invalid.
