<h4><a name="tag_03_687_02"></a>SYNOPSIS</h4>
<blockquote class="synopsis">
<div class="box"><code><tt><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('XSI')">XSI</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt=
"[Option Start]" border="0"> #include &lt;<a href="../basedefs/signal.h.html">signal.h</a>&gt;<br>

<h4><a name="tag_03_687_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>siginterrupt</i>() function shall change the restart behavior when a function is interrupted by the specified signal. The
function <i>siginterrupt</i>(<i>sig</i>, <i>flag</i>) has an effect as if implemented as:</p>
<pre>
<tt>siginterrupt(int sig, int flag) {
int ret;
struct sigaction act;
<br>
(void) sigaction(sig, NULL, &amp;act);
if (flag)
act.sa_flags &amp;= &#152;SA_RESTART;
else
act.sa_flags |= SA_RESTART;
ret = sigaction(sig, &amp;act, NULL);
return ret;
}
</tt>
</pre>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_687_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Upon successful completion, <i>siginterrupt</i>() shall return 0; otherwise, -1 shall be returned and <i>errno</i> set to
indicate the error.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_687_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>siginterrupt</i>() function shall fail if:</p>
<dl compact>
<dt>[EINVAL]</dt>
<dd>The <i>sig</i> argument is not a valid signal number.</dd>
</dl>

<h4><a name="tag_03_687_06"></a>EXAMPLES</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>None.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_687_07"></a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>siginterrupt</i>() function supports programs written to historical system interfaces. A conforming application, when
being written or rewritten, should use <a href="../functions/sigaction.html"><i>sigaction</i>()</a> with the SA_RESTART flag
instead of <i>siginterrupt</i>().</p>
