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

       The _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p() function shall be equivalent to the _s_e_t_j_m_p() function,
       except as follows:

        *  References to _s_e_t_j_m_p() are equivalent to _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p().

        *  References to _l_o_n_g_j_m_p() are equivalent to _s_i_g_l_o_n_g_j_m_p().

        *  If the value of the _s_a_v_e_m_a_s_k argument is not 0, _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p() shall
           also save the current signal mask of the calling thread as part of
           the calling environment.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       If the return is from a successful direct invocation, _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p() shall
       return 0. If the return is from a call to _s_i_g_l_o_n_g_j_m_p(), _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p()
       shall return a non-zero value.

       The distinction between _s_e_t_j_m_p()/_l_o_n_g_j_m_p() and _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p()/_s_i_g_l_o_n_g_j_m_p()
       is only significant for programs which use _s_i_g_a_c_t_i_o_n(), _s_i_g_p_r_o_c_m_a_s_k(),
       or _s_i_g_s_u_s_p_e_n_d().

       Note that since this function is defined in terms of _s_e_t_j_m_p(), if
       _s_a_v_e_m_a_s_k is zero, it is unspecified whether the signal mask is saved.

RRAATTIIOONNAALLEE
       The ISO C standard specifies various restrictions on the usage of the
       _s_e_t_j_m_p() macro in order to permit implementors to recognize the name in
       the compiler and not implement an actual function. These same
       restrictions apply to the _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p() macro.

       There are processors that cannot easily support these calls, but this
       was not considered a sufficient reason to exclude them.

       4.2 BSD, 4.3 BSD, and XSI-conformant systems provide functions named
       ___s_e_t_j_m_p() and ___l_o_n_g_j_m_p() that, together with _s_e_t_j_m_p() and _l_o_n_g_j_m_p(),
       provide the same functionality as _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p() and _s_i_g_l_o_n_g_j_m_p().  On
       those systems, _s_e_t_j_m_p() and _l_o_n_g_j_m_p() save and restore signal masks,
       while ___s_e_t_j_m_p() and ___l_o_n_g_j_m_p() do not. On System V Release 3 and in
       corresponding issues of the SVID, _s_e_t_j_m_p() and _l_o_n_g_j_m_p() are explicitly
       defined not to save and restore signal masks. In order to permit
       existing practice in both cases, the relation of _s_e_t_j_m_p() and _l_o_n_g_j_m_p()
       to signal masks is not specified, and a new set of functions is defined
       instead.

       The _l_o_n_g_j_m_p() and _s_i_g_l_o_n_g_j_m_p() functions operate as in the previous
       issue provided the matching _s_e_t_j_m_p() or _s_i_g_s_e_t_j_m_p() has been performed
       in the same thread. Non-local jumps into contexts saved by other
       threads would be at best a questionable practice and were not
       considered worthy of standardization.
