+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR sigwait ()
+function suspends execution of the calling thread until
+one of the signals specified in the signal set
+.I set
+becomes pending.
+The function accepts the signal
+(removes it from the pending list of signals),
+and returns the signal number in
+.IR sig .
+.PP
+The operation of
+.BR sigwait ()
+is the same as
+.BR sigwaitinfo (2),
+except that:
+.IP \[bu] 3
+.BR sigwait ()
+returns only the signal number, rather than a
+.I siginfo_t
+structure describing the signal.
+.IP \[bu]
+The return values of the two functions are different.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR sigwait ()
+returns 0.
+On error, it returns a positive error number (listed in ERRORS).
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.\" Does not occur for glibc.
+.I set
+contains an invalid signal number.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES

+.SH VERSIONS
+.BR sigwait ()
+is implemented using
+.BR sigtimedwait (2).
+.PP
+The glibc implementation of
+.BR sigwait ()
+silently ignores attempts to wait for the two real-time signals that
+are used internally by the NPTL threading implementation.
+See
+.BR nptl (7)
+for details.

+POSIX.1-2008.
