NAME

       sigismember - test for a signal in a signal set

SYNOPSIS

       #include <signal.h>

       int sigismember(const sigset_t *set, int signo);

DESCRIPTION

       The  sigismember()  function shall test whether the signal specified by
       signo is a member of the set pointed to by set.

       Applications should call either sigemptyset() or sigfillset() at  least
       once  for  each  object of type sigset_t prior to any other use of that
       object. If such an object is  not  initialized  in  this  way,  but  is
       nonetheless  supplied  as  an  argument  to  any  of pthread_sigmask(),
       sigaction(),  sigaddset(),  sigdelset(),  sigismember(),  sigpending(),
       sigprocmask(),     sigsuspend(),    sigtimedwait(),    sigwait(),    or
       sigwaitinfo(), the results are undefined.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful  completion,  sigismember()  shall  return  1  if  the
       specified  signal  is a member of the specified set, or 0 if it is not.
       Otherwise, it shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The sigismember() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The signo argument is not  a  valid  signal  number,  or  is  an
              unsupported signal number.
