CALLING SEQUENCE:

#include <signal.h>

int sigtimedwait(
  const sigset_t        *set,
  siginfo_t             *info,
  const struct timespec *timeout
);

STATUS CODES:

EAGAIN

DESCRIPTION:

This function selects a pending signal based on the set specified in set, atomically clears it from the set of pending signals, and returns information about that signal in info. The calling thread will block up to timeout waiting for the signal to arrive.

If timeout is NULL, then the calling thread will wait forever for the specified signal set.
