Gnulib module: ---

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11.23, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 9, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
@end itemize

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
When the @var{sigmask} argument is nonnull on platforms that do not
natively support this function, race conditions are possible when its
gnulib implementation temporarily modifies the signal mask, and the
behavior is unspecified in a multi-threaded process.
