siginterrupt - allow signals to interrupt functions

int siginterrupt(int 
 sig, int
  flag );  
 
The 
siginterrupt() function shall change the restart behavior when a
  function is interrupted by the specified signal. The function
  
siginterrupt( 
sig, 
flag) has an effect as if implemented
  as:
 
int siginterrupt(int sig, int flag) {
    int ret;
    struct sigaction act;
 
    (void) sigaction(sig, NULL, &act);
    if (flag)
        act.sa_flags &= ~SA_RESTART;
    else
        act.sa_flags |= SA_RESTART;
    ret = sigaction(sig, &act, NULL);
    return ret;
}
 
Upon successful completion, 
siginterrupt() shall return 0; otherwise, -1
  shall be returned and 
errno set to indicate the error.
The 
siginterrupt() function shall fail if:
  - EINVAL
 
  - The sig argument is not a valid signal number.
    
 
   
The following sections are informative.
None.
The 
siginterrupt() function supports programs written to historical
  system interfaces. A conforming application, when being written or rewritten,
  should use 
sigaction() with the SA_RESTART flag instead of
  
siginterrupt().
None.
None.
