do you want certain signals to be ignored or blocked? The sigaction(), sigprocmask(), siginterrupt(), and sigsuspend() functions control the manipulation of the signal mask, which defines the set of signals currently blocked. The manual pages give details. The following code shows how the response to signals can be delayed.

The sigpending() function shall store, in the location referenced by the set argument, the set of signals that are blocked from delivery to the calling thread and that are pending on the process or the calling thread.
