<H2>NAME</H2>
sgetmask, ssetmask - manipulation of signal mask (obsolete)
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>long sgetmask(void);</B>
<P>
<B>long ssetmask(long </B><I>newmask</I><B>);</B>
<P>
<I>Note</I>:
There are no glibc wrappers for these system calls; see NOTES.
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
These system calls are obsolete.
<I>Do not use them</I>;
use
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+sigprocmask">sigprocmask</A></B>(2)
instead.
<P>
<B>sgetmask</B>()
returns the signal mask of the calling process.
<P>
<B>ssetmask</B>()
sets the signal mask of the calling process to the value given in
<I>newmask</I>.
The previous signal mask is returned.
<P>
The signal masks dealt with by these two system calls
are plain bit masks (unlike the
<I>sigset_t</I>
used by
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+sigprocmask">sigprocmask</A></B>(2));
use
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sigmask">sigmask</A></B>(3)
to create and inspect these masks.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
<B>sgetmask</B>()
always successfully returns the signal mask.
<B>ssetmask</B>()
always succeeds, and returns the previous signal mask.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
These system calls always succeed.
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>VERSIONS</H2>
Since Linux 3.16,
support for these system calls is optional,
depending on whether the kernel was built with the
<B>CONFIG_SGETMASK_SYSCALL</B>
option.
<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
These system calls are Linux-specific.
<A NAME="lbAI">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
Glibc does not provide wrappers for these obsolete system calls;
in the unlikely event that you want to call them, use
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+syscall">syscall</A></B>(2).
<P>
These system calls are unaware of signal numbers greater than 31
(i.e., real-time signals).
<P>
These system calls do not exist on x86-64.
<P>
It is not possible to block
<B>SIGSTOP</B>
or
<B>SIGKILL</B>.
