The bit about it not detecting errors is rubbish for a start...
ben@freefall:~/tmp$ cat t.c
#include <err.h>
#include <signal.h>
int
main(void) {
if (sigpending((void *)0xdeadbeef) != 0)
err(1, "sigpending");
return (0);
}
ben@freefall:~/tmp$ ./a.out
a.out: sigpending: Bad address
I'll do something about this.

State Changed From-To: open->closed ERRORS section fixed, thanks! |
A quote from the man page: RETURN VALUES A 0 value indicated that the call succeeded. A -1 return value indicates an error occurred and errno is set to indicated the reason. ERRORS The sigpending() function does not currently detect any errors. Fix: Move the second sentence under RETURN VALUES to replace the sentence under ERRORS. How-To-Repeat: man sigpending
