## Description

Changes the list of currently blocked signals. The behaviour of the call depends on How :

SIG_BLOCK
  The set of blocked signals is the union of the current set and the nset argument.
SIG_UNBLOCK
  The signals in nset are removed from the set of currently blocked signals.
SIG_SETMASK
  The list of blocked signals is set so nset.

If oset is non-nil, then the old set is stored in it.

## Errors

Errno is used to report errors.

sys_efault
  oset or nset point to an adress outside the range of the process.
sys_eintr
  System call was interrupted.
