+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sigprocmask
+.Nd manipulate current signal mask
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <signal.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn sigprocmask "int how" "const sigset_t *set" "sigset_t *oset"
+.Fn sigmask signum
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn sigprocmask
+function examines and/or changes the current signal mask (those signals
+that are blocked from delivery).
+Signals are blocked if they are members of the current signal mask set.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa set
+is not null, the action of
+.Fn sigprocmask
+depends on the value of the parameter
+.Fa how .
+The signal mask is changed as a function of the specified
+.Fa set
+and the current mask.
+The function is specified by
+.Fa how
+using one of the following values from
+.Aq Pa signal.h :
+.Bl -tag -width SIG_UNBLOCK
+.It Dv SIG_BLOCK
+The new mask is the union of the current mask and the specified
+.Fa set .
+.It Dv SIG_UNBLOCK
+The new mask is the intersection of the current mask
+and the complement of the specified
+.Fa set .
+.It Dv SIG_SETMASK
+The current mask is replaced by the specified
+.Fa set .
+.El
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa oset
+is not null, it is set to
+the previous value of the signal mask.
+When
+.Fa set
+is null,
+the value of
+.Ar how
+is insignificant and the mask remains unset
+providing a way to examine the signal mask without modification.
+.Pp
+The system
+quietly disallows
+.Dv SIGKILL
+or
+.Dv SIGSTOP
+to be blocked.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+A 0 value indicated that the call succeeded. A -1 return value
+indicates an error occurred and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicated the reason.
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn sigprocmask
+call will fail and the signal mask will be unchanged if one
+of the following occurs:
+.Bl -tag -width Bq Er EINVAL
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+.Fa how
+has a value other than those listed here.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr kill 2 ,
+.Xr sigaction 2 ,
+.Xr sigsetops 3 ,
+.Xr sigsuspend 2
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm sigprocmask
+function call is expected to
+conform to
+.St -p1003.1-88 .
