Hi,

thank you for your quich reply. I understand what you write. I would rather
then explain the behaviour of sigwait() telling that it overrides the
disposition
of the signals specified in its argument, or that sets a new disposition for
it.
This preserves the correctness of the use of the word "ignore" ("to refuse
to take notice of" -Merrian-Webster dictionary) in the man pages, which
would not otherwise
be the case stating that the program takes notice of something it is not
told to do.

Thank you
-Angelo Borsotti
