Difference between sigset and singal function

[pavunkumar]

Dear Friend :

What is the difference between sigset and signal
function , But I experiment both things , I could not get any
difference . Is there any difference ....?

Advance Thanks

Well, one key difference between them is that signal() is a C standard
library routine which is on-topic in this newsgroup, while the man pages
which covers sigset() on my home computer says:

Or, more succinctly, and more in the spirit of this newsgroup:

Off topic. Not portable. Cant discuss it here. Blah, blah, blah.

If you still want to understand sigset(), despite it's being obsolete, a
more appropriate place to find out about it is by asking in
comp.programming.unix.

Actually, from the point of view of the religious dogma practiced here,
it could just as easily (and more likely in my opinion) be found in
misc.transport.traffic.signals

Keep in mind that, since it is not a C standard library function, the
sigset() function you're referring to might not be the same one that my
computer's man page describes.

Exactly. We certainly have no way of knowing. For all we know,
sigset() could be a function written by the OP's grandmother.

Make that: comp.unix.programmer;-)
