Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see

<P>
<B>sigwait</B>():
<DL COMPACT><DT id="1"><DD>
Since glibc 2.26:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_POSIX_C_SOURCE&nbsp;&gt;=&nbsp;199506L
<BR>
Glibc 2.25 and earlier:
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_POSIX_C_SOURCE
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B>sigwait</B>()
function suspends execution of the calling thread until
one of the signals specified in the signal set
<I>set</I>
becomes pending.
The function accepts the signal
(removes it from the pending list of signals),
and returns the signal number in
<I>sig</I>.
<P>
The operation of
<B>sigwait</B>()
is the same as
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+sigwaitinfo">sigwaitinfo</A></B>(2),
except that:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="2">*<DD>
<B>sigwait</B>()
returns only the signal number, rather than a
<I>siginfo_t</I>
structure describing the signal.
<DT id="3">*<DD>
The return values of the two functions are different.
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
On success,
<B>sigwait</B>()
returns 0.
On error, it returns a positive error number (listed in ERRORS).
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="4"><B>EINVAL</B>
<DD>
<I>set</I>
contains an invalid signal number.

<H2>NOTES</H2>
<B>sigwait</B>()
is implemented using
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+sigtimedwait">sigtimedwait</A></B>(2).
<P>
The glibc implementation of
<B>sigwait</B>()
silently ignores attempts to wait for the two real-time signals that
are used internally by the NPTL threading implementation.
See
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+nptl">nptl</A></B>(7)
for details.
