Sets the disposition of the specified signal to SIG_IGN.

    This function is OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity servers only.

    Format

      #include  <signal.h>

      int sigignore  (int signal);

1  –  Argument

 signal

    The specified signal. The signal argument can be assigned any of
    the signals defined in the <signal.h> header file, except SIGKILL
    and SIGSTOP.

2  –  Description

    The sighold, sigrelse, and sigignore functions provide simplified
    signal management:

    o  The sighold function adds signal to the calling process's
       signal mask.

    o  The sigrelse function removes signal from the calling
       process's signal mask.

    o  The sigignore function sets the disposition of signal to SIG_
       IGN.

    The sighold function, in conjunction with sigrelse and sigpause,
    can be used to establish critical regions of code that require
    the delivery of a signal to be temporarily deferred.

    Upon success, the sigignore function returns a value of 0.
    Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned, and errno is set to
    indicate the error.

                                   NOTE

       These interfaces are provided for compatibility only. New
       programs should use sigaction and sigprocmask to control the
       disposition of signals.

3  –  Return Values

    0                  Indicates success.
    -1                 Indicates an error; errno is set to the
                       following value:

                       o  EINVAL - The value of the signal argument
                          is either an invalid signal number or
                          SIGKILL, or an attempt is made to catch
                          a signal that cannot be intercepted or to
                          ignore a signal that cannot be ignored.
