<p>The <strong>sigemptyset()</strong> function is part of a family of functions
that manipulate signal sets. <strong>Signal sets</strong> are data objects that
let a thread keep track of groups of signals. For example, a thread might
create a signal set to record which signals it is blocking, and another signal
set to record which signals are pending. Signal sets are used to manipulate
groups of signals used by other functions (such as <strong>
sigprocmask()</strong>) or to examine signal sets returned by other functions
(such as <strong>sigpending()</strong>).</p>
<p><strong>sigemptyset()</strong> initializes the signal set specified by <em>
set</em> to an empty set. That is, all supported signals are excluded (see <a
href="sigactn.htm#TBLSIGTBL1">Control Signals Table</a>).</p>

<h3>Example</h3>
<p>See <a href="../apiref/aboutapis.htm#codedisclaimer">Code disclaimer information</a>
for information pertaining to code examples.</p>
<p>The following example initializes a set of signals to the empty set:</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
struct sigaction sigact;
sigset_t sigset;
sigemptyset( &amp;sigact.sa_mask );
sigact.sa_flags = 0;
sigact.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
sigaction( SIGUSR2, &amp;sigact, NULL );
/*
* Unblocking all signals ensures that the signal
* handling action will be taken when the signal
* is generated.
*/
sigemptyset( &amp;sigset );
sigprocmask( SIG_SETMASK, &amp;sigset, NULL );
printf( "before kill()\n" );
kill( getpid(), SIGUSR2 );
printf( "after kill()\n" );
return( 0 );
}
</pre>
<br>
<h3>Output:</h3>
<pre>
before kill()
after kill()
</pre>
