+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR siginterrupt ()
+function changes the restart behavior when
+a system call is interrupted by the signal \fIsig\fP.
+If the \fIflag\fP
+argument is false (0), then system calls will be restarted if interrupted
+by the specified signal \fIsig\fP.
+This is the default behavior in Linux.
+.P
+If the \fIflag\fP argument is true (1) and no data has been transferred,
+then a system call interrupted by the signal \fIsig\fP will return \-1
+and \fIerrno\fP will be set to
+.BR EINTR .
+.P
+If the \fIflag\fP argument is true (1) and data transfer has started,
+then the system call will be interrupted and will return the actual
+amount of data transferred.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR siginterrupt ()
+function returns 0 on success.
+It returns \-1 if the
+signal number
+.I sig
+is invalid, with
+.I errno
+set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The specified signal number is invalid.
