Signals may be pending because they are currently masked, or transiently before delivery (although the latter case is not normally detectable). .Sh RETURN VALUES .Rv -std sigpending .Sh ERRORS The .Fn sigpending system call will fail if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EFAULT The .Fa set argument specified an invalid address. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr sigaction 2 , .Xr sigprocmask 2 , .Xr sigsuspend 2 , .Xr sigsetops 3 .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn sigpending system call is expected to conform to .St -p1003.1-90 .
