*Conan The Librarian

Suspends a calling thread and waits for queued signals to arrive.
This function is supported on OpenVMS Integrity servers and
Alpha only.
Format
#include <signal.h>
int sigwaitinfo (const sigset_t set, siginfo_t *info);
set
The set of signals to wait for.
info
Pointer to a siginfo structure that is receiving data describing
the signal, including any application-defined data specified when
the signal was posted.
The sigwaitinfo function behaves the same as the sigwait function
if the info argument is NULL.
If the info argument is non-NULL, the sigwaitinfo function
behaves the same as sigwait, except that the selected signal
number is stored in the si_signo member of the siginfo structure,
and the cause of the signal is stored in the si_code member.
If any value is queued to the selected signal, the first such
queued value is dequeued and the value is stored in the si_value
member of info. The system resource used to queue the signal is
released and made available to queue other signals. If no value
is queued, the content of the si_value member is undefined. If no
further signals are queued for the selected signal, the pending
indication for that signal is reset.

Reference Manual for more information on signal handling.
x Upon successful completion, the signal number
selected is returned.
-1 Indicates that an error occurred; errno is set
to one of the following values:
o EINVAL - The set argument contains an
invalid or unsupported signal number.
o EINTR - The wait was interrupted by an
unblocked, intercepted signal.
