Signals are blocked if the corresponding bit in _m_a_s_k is a 1; the macro _s_i_g_m_a_s_k is provided to construct the mask for a given _s_i_g_n_u_m. It is not possible to block SIGKILL or SIGSTOP; this res- triction is silently imposed by the system. RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE The previous set of masked signals is returned.
