     #include <signal.h>

     int

RETURN VALUES
     If successful, the sigignore() function returns 0.  Otherwise -1 is
     returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The sigignore() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]           The argument sig is not a valid signal number; or an
                        attempt is made to ignore a signal that cannot be
                        ignored, such as SIGKILL or SIGSTOP.

SEE ALSO
     sigaction(2)

STANDARDS
     The sigignore() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 ("POSIX.1").
     It was however marked as obsolete in the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 ("POSIX.1")
     revision of the standard.
