signo +is a valid signal number. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGDELSET +macro removes +.Fa signo +from +.Fa set . +No effort is made to ensure that +.Fa signo +is a valid signal number. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGEMPTYSET +macro clears all signals in +.Fa set . +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGFILLSET +macro sets all signals in +.Fa set . +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGISMEMBER +macro determines if +.Fa signo +is set in +.Fa set . +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGISEMPTY +macro determines if +.Fa set +does not have any signals set. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGNOTEMPTY +macro determines if +.Fa set +has any signals set. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGSETEQ +macro determines if two signal sets are equal; that is, the same signals +are set in both. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGSETNEQ +macro determines if two signal sets differ; that is, if any signal set in +one is not set in the other. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGSETOR +macro ORs the signals set in +.Fa set2 +into +.Fa set1 . +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGSETAND +macro ANDs the signals set in +.Fa set2 +into +.Fa set1 . +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGSETNAND +macro NANDs the signals set in +.Fa set2 +into +.Fa set1 . +.Pp +The +.Fn SIG_CANTMASK +macro clears the +.Dv SIGKILL +and +.Dv SIGSTOP +signals from +.Fa set . +These two signals cannot be blocked or caught and +.Fn SIG_CANTMASK +is used in code where signals are manipulated to ensure this policy +is enforced. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIG_STOPSIGMASK +macro clears the +.Dv SIGSTOP , +.Dv SIGTSTP , +.Dv SIGTTIN , +and +.Dv SIGTTOU +signals from +.Fa set . +.Fn SIG_STOPSIGMASK +is used to clear stop signals when a process is waiting for a child to +exit or exec, and when a process is continuing after having been +suspended. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIG_CONTSIGMASK +macro clears the +.Dv SIGCONT +signal from +.Fa set . +.Fn SIG_CONTSIGMASK +is called when a process is stopped. +.Pp +The +.Fn SIGPENDING +macro determines if the given process has any pending signals that are +not masked. +If the process has a pending signal and the process is currently being +traced, +.Fn SIGPENDING +will return true even if the signal is masked. +.Pp +The +.Fn cursig +function returns the signal number that should be delivered to process +.Fa td->td_proc . +If there are no signals pending, zero is returned. +.Pp +The +.Fn execsigs +function resets the signal set and signal stack of a process in preparation +for an +.Xr execve 2 . +The process lock for +.Fa p +must be held before +.Fn execsigs +is called. +.Pp +The +.Fn issignal +function determines if there are any pending signals for process +.Fa td->td_proc +that should be caught, or cause this process to terminate or interrupt its +current system call. +If process +.Fa td->td_proc +is currently being traced, ignored signals will be handled and the process +is always stopped. +Stop signals are handled and cleared right away by +.Fn issignal +unless the process is a member of an orphaned process group and the stop +signal originated from a TTY. +The process spin lock for +.Fa td->td_proc +may be acquired and released. +The +.Vt sigacts +structure +.Fa td->td_proc->p_sigacts +must be locked before calling +.Fn issignal +and may be released and reacquired during the call. +The process lock for +.Fa td->td_proc +must be acquired before calling +.Fn issignal +and may be released and reacquired during the call. +Default signal actions are not taken for system processes and init. +.Pp +The +.Fn killproc +function delivers +.Dv SIGKILL +to +.Fa p . +.Fa why +is logged as the reason +.Em why +the process was killed. +.Pp +The +.Fn pgsigio +function sends the signal +.Fa sig +to the process or process group +.Fa sigiop->sio_pgid . +If +.Fa checkctty +is non-zero, the signal is only delivered to processes in the process group +that have a controlling terminal. +If +.Fa sigiop->sio_pgid +is for a process (> 0), the lock for +.Fa sigiop->sio_proc +is acquired and released. +If +.Fa sigiop->sio_pgid +is for a process group (< 0), the process group lock for +.Fa sigiop->sio_pgrp +is acquired and released. +The lock +.Va sigio_lock +is acquired and released. +.Pp +The +.Fn postsig +function handles the actual delivery of the signal +.Fa sig . +.Fn postsig +is called from +.Fn ast +after the kernel has been notified that a signal should be delivered +(via a call to +.Fn signotify , +which causes the flag +.Dv PS_NEEDSIGCHK +to be set). +The process lock for process that owns +.Va curthread +must be held before +.Fn postsig +is called, and the current process cannot be 0. +The lock for the +.Va p_sigacts +field of the current process must be held before +.Fn postsig +is called, and may be released and reacquired. +.Pp +The +.Fn sigexit +function causes the process that owns +.Fa td +to exit with a return value of signal number +.Fa sig . +If required, the process will dump core. +The process lock for the process that owns +.Fa td +must be held before +.Fn sigexit +is called. +.Pp +The +.Fn siginit +function is called during system initialization to cause every signal with +a default property of +.Dv SA_IGNORE +(except +.Dv SIGCONT ) +to be ignored by +.Fa p . +The process lock for +.Fa p +is acquired and released, as is the lock for sigacts structure +.Fa p->p_sigacts . +The only process that +.Fn siginit +is ever called for +is +.Va proc0 . +.Pp +The +.Fn signotify +function flags that there are unmasked signals pending that +.Fn ast +should handle. +The process lock for process +.Fa td->td_proc +must be held before +.Fn signotify +is called, and the thread lock is acquired and released. +.Pp +The +.Fn trapsignal +function sends a signal that is the result of a trap to process +.Fa td->td_proc . +If the process is not being traced and the signal can be delivered +immediately, +.Fn trapsignal +will deliver it directly; otherwise, +.Fn trapsignal +will call +.Xr psignal 9 +to cause the signal to be delivered. +The process lock for +.Fa td->td_proc +is acquired and released. +The lock for the +.Va p_sigacts +field of +.Fa td->td_proc +is acquired and released. +.Sh RETURN VALUES +The +.Fn SIGISMEMBER , +.Fn SIGISEMPTY , +.Fn SIGNOTEMPTY , +.Fn SIGSETEQ , +.Fn SIGSETNEQ , +and +.Fn SIGPENDING +macros all return non-zero (true) if the condition they are checking +is found to be true; otherwise, zero (false) is returned. +.Pp +The +.Fn cursig +function returns either a valid signal number or zero. +.Pp +.Fn issignal +returns either a valid signal number or zero.
