+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sigblock
+.Nd block signals
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <signal.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn sigblock "int mask"
+.Ft int
+.Fn sigmask signum
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Bf -symbolic
+This interface is made obsolete by:
+.Ef
+.Xr sigprocmask 2 .
+.Pp
+.Fn Sigblock
+adds the signals specified in
+.Fa mask
+to the set of signals currently
+being blocked from delivery.
+Signals are blocked if the
+corresponding bit in
+.Fa mask
+is a 1; the macro
+.Fn sigmask
+is provided to construct the mask for a given
+.Fa signum .
+.Pp
+It is not possible to block
+.Dv SIGKILL
+or
+.Dv SIGSTOP ;
+this restriction is silently
+imposed by the system.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The previous set of masked signals is returned.
