sigpending(2) System Calls Manual sigpending(2)NAME
sigpending - Examines pending signals
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int sigpending (
sigset_t *set );
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
sigpending(): XSH4.2
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
PARAMETERS
Points to a sigset_t structure.
DESCRIPTION
The sigpending() function stores the set of signals that are blocked from delivery and pending to the calling process in the object pointed
to by the set parameter.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the sigpending() function returns a value of 0 (zero). Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set
to indicate the error.
ERRORS
[Tru64 UNIX] If a bad mask parameter is passed, the calling process receives a SIGSEGV signal.

sigpending - examine pending signals
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int sigpending(sigset_t *set);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sigpending(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
sigpending() returns the set of signals that are pending for delivery to the calling thread (i.e., the signals which have been raised while
blocked). The mask of pending signals is returned in set.
RETURN VALUE
sigpending() returns 0 on success and -1 on error.
ERRORS
EFAULT set points to memory which is not a valid part of the process address space.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
See sigsetops(3) for details on manipulating signal sets.
The set of signals that is pending for a thread is the union of the set of signals that is pending for that thread and the set of signals
that is pending for the process as a whole; see signal(7).
A child created via fork(2) initially has an empty pending signal set; the pending signal set is preserved across an execve(2).
BUGS
In versions of glibc up to and including 2.2.1, there is a bug in the wrapper function for sigpending() which means that information about
pending real-time signals is not correctly returned.

I have been asked to put together some coding standards for the project I am assigned to. I have found documented standards for C/C++, Java but was wondering if there is a good place for UNIX scripting (Korn/Bourne) standards?
Does anyone know of a good place to find information on scripting... (3 Replies)
