+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH NAME
+siginterrupt
+\(em allow signals to interrupt functions
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <signal.h>
+.P
+int siginterrupt(int \fIsig\fP, int \fIflag\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIsiginterrupt\fR()
+function shall change the restart behavior when a function is
+interrupted by the specified signal. The function
+\fIsiginterrupt\fP(\fIsig\fP, \fIflag\fP) has an effect as if
+implemented as:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+int siginterrupt(int sig, int flag) {
+ int ret;
+ struct sigaction act;
+.P
+ (void) sigaction(sig, NULL, &act);
+ if (flag)
+ act.sa_flags &= \(tiSA_RESTART;
+ else
+ act.sa_flags |= SA_RESTART;
+ ret = sigaction(sig, &act, NULL);
+ return ret;
+}
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion,
+\fIsiginterrupt\fR()
+shall return 0; otherwise, \-1 shall be returned and
+.IR errno
+set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIsiginterrupt\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
+The
+.IR sig
+argument is not a valid signal number.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The
+\fIsiginterrupt\fR()
+function supports programs written to historical system interfaces.
+Applications should use the
+\fIsigaction\fR()
+with the SA_RESTART flag instead of the obsolescent
+\fIsiginterrupt\fR()
+function.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
