PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (con-
       sult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface  may  not  be  implemented  on
       Linux.

NAME
       sigdelset - delete a signal from a signal set

SYNOPSIS
       #include <signal.h>

       int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int signo);


DESCRIPTION
       The sigdelset() function deletes the individual signal specified by signo from the signal set pointed to by set.

       Applications should call either sigemptyset() or sigfillset() at least once for each object of type sigset_t prior to any
       other use of that object. If such an object is not initialized in this way, but is nonetheless supplied as an argument to
       any  of  pthread_sigmask(),  sigaction(),  sigaddset(),  sigdelset(), sigismember(), sigpending(), sigprocmask(), sigsus-
       pend(), sigtimedwait(), sigwait(), or sigwaitinfo(), the results are undefined.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, sigdelset() shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return -1  and  set  errno  to  indicate  the
       error.

ERRORS
       The sigdelset() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The signo argument is not a valid signal number, or is an unsupported signal number.
