[EINVAL] The value of the how argument is not equal to one of the defined values. But earlier in the page in DESCRIPTION section, it also says If set is a null pointer, the value of the argument how is not significant and the thread's signal mask shall be unchanged; which is not clear whether 'how' is still required to be a defined value, or any value will do. Desired Action: Clarify in the document about acceptable values of the 'how' argument when 'set' is NULL. Specifically, what is the expected return value of the following function call pthread_sigmask(0, NULL, &oset); ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2017-03-24 23:45 yousong New Issue 2017-03-24 23:45 yousong Status New => Under Review 2017-03-24 23:45 yousong Assigned To => ajosey 2017-03-24 23:45 yousong Name => Yousong Zhou 2017-03-24 23:45 yousong Section => pthread_sigmask 2017-03-24 23:45 yousong Page Number => 42 2017-03-24 23:45 yousong Line Number => 42 ======================================================================
